Alpha-L-Fucosidase Has Diagnostic Value in Prostate Cancer With “Gray-Zone PSA” and Inhibits Cancer Progression via Regulating Glycosylation

BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of alpha-l-fucosidase (AFU) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with “gray-zone PSA” and to investigate the correlation between AFU expression and clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients.MethodsThe level of AFU and other necessary...
