Ziaran S et al. – This is the first study that demonstrates the significant increase in fibrinogen in prostate cancer (PCa) patients on androgen deprivation therapy, while C–reactive protein as inflammatory marker did not increase. Elevation of serum level of fibrinogen may contribute to increased cardiovascular risk in PCa patients.
