Abstract

Multivariate analysis was used to examine the morphology of mixed saliva crystals in 55 healthy men and the patients with suspected malignant prostate gland diseases. The established changes in the shape of dendritic crystals in the saliva from prostate-problematic patients were corroborated by the cluster and discriminatory analyse.
