Detection of Prostate Cancer Proteins in Serum for Cancer Diagnosis with a Blood Test

Case ID:

C10088

There is a crucial need of discovering novel biomarkers in addition to prostate specific antigen (PSA) to improve the specificity of clinical diagnosis for prostate cancer. This invention addresses this problem by discovering proteins from prostate cancer tissues that can be detected in patients’ blood. Hence, a blood test can be developed for detecting prostate cancer at an early, more curable stage, and to molecularly define the cancer stage for an accurate prognosis. Additional advantages of this discovery include:

• Diagnostic markers for prostate cancer risk assessment
• Potential development of novel therapeutic strategies
