Electron scanning microscopy and enzyme immunoassay were used to conduct a comprehensive study of blood characteristics in elderly patients with prostate cancer (PC). A total of 110 people divided into groups and subgroups, differing in age and nature of the extent of a tumor process, were examined. In apparently healthy elderly patients, the percentage of prehemolytic forms of erythrocytes were shown to be higher than that in middle-aged people. The elderly, also those with prostate pathologyy, versus the control group of the same age had lower content of discocytes, higher frequency of transitional forms of red blood cells, and their decreased average diameter. Tendencies toward changes in the concentration of biomarkers (TuM2Pk, interleukin-12, FGF, VEGF, tumor necrosis factor-α, and total prostate-specific antigen l) were also determined in elderly people with varying tumor extents in PC.
