- Abstract
- The concentrations of the heavy metals cadmium and zinc in both benign nodular hyperplastic and malignant (adenocarcinoma) human prostatic tissue obtained from Trans Urethral Resections of the Prostate (TURP) have been investigated. Healthy normal human prostates obtained from post mortem cadavers were used as controls. The change in the prostatic cadmium concentration with age was investigated. Renal cortex cadmium and zinc concentration changes with age together with the metal concentration intterelationships between prostatic and renal cortex tissues were studied.
