The clinical association between coagulation indexes, platelet-related parameters, and bone metastasis of newly diagnosed prostate cancer

ConclusionsHigher platelet, D-dimer, prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, and fibrinogen levels may predict a worse prognosis in patients with Pca. PLT, DD, and Fib, as readily available and relatively inexpensive indicators, help predict bone metastasis of Pca. It is suggested that PLT, DD and Fib may be helpful in the risk stratification of Pca.
