Prostate cancer is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer in men, yet early detection remains a major challenge. That difficulty lies in how subtle the disease can be in its earliest stages ...

The study's testing accurately identified prostate cancer 91% of the time and accurately ruled out men without prostate cancer 84% of the time. A urine-based biomarker panel may be a promising, ...

Urine panel had AUC of 0.96 and 0.92 with development and validation datasets, respectively, compared with 0.83 and 0.76 for urinary PCA3 RNA. HealthDay News — A urine-based biomarker panel has high ...

A urine-based biomarker panel detected prostate cancer in 91% of specimens with a diagnostic accuracy of 78.6% to 85.7%, according to a study published Sept. 2 in eBioMedicine. Led by a team from ...

To check for possible prostate cancer, physicians most often use prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests and digital rectal exams (DREs). For a firm diagnosis, they use core needle biopsies. This page ...
