SUMMARY A generalised malignant pattern of the LDH V/I ratio was detected in 80.04 per cent. of the confined prostate cancers included in this study. Such a finding suggests that derangement of the metabolic activity of the cells in malignant transformation occurs at a relatively earlier stage than that in which cellular histology becomes evident.
