Abstract

Objective: In this report, patients, who had testosterone (TE) level data before prostate needle biopsy and who later underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) due to prostate adenocarcinoma, were evaluated. The TE levels were analyzed in patients divided into three groups according to the D'Amico risk classification.
