Abstract: The present invention provides a method of identifying a subject as having an increased risk of developing prostate cancer, comprising detecting in the subject the presence of various polymorphisms associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the detection and identification of various forms of genetic markers, and various forms of proteins, which have the potential utility as diagnostic markers. By determining the level of a plurality of biomarkers and genetic markers in a patient sample, and combining the obtained values according to a predefined formula, it is possible to determine if it is likely that the patient suffers from prostate cancer or aggressive prostate cancer. The method is improved by distinguishing between genetic subpopulations with a particularly high risk for prostate cancer or aggressive prostate cancer.

Abstract: A method for indicating a presence or non-presence of a predefined solid tumor cancer in an individual, comprising the steps of: A. Providing at least one biological sample originating from said individual at a first point in time; B. Providing at least one biological sample originating from said individual at a second point in time; C. In said at least two biological samples, measuring a presence or concentration of at least one biomarker related to said predefined solid tumor cancer; D. Combining data regarding the presence or concentration of the at least one biomarker to form a kinetic composite value that reflects the change of biomarker presence or concentration; E.

By determining the level of a plurality of biomarkers and genetic markers in a patient sample, and combining the obtained values according to a predefined formula, it is possible to determine if it is likely that the patient suffers from aggressive prostate cancer. The present invention is particularly applicable only for patients having a body mass index value greater than 25.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the detection and identification of various forms of genetic markers, and various forms of proteins, which have the potential utility as diagnostic markers. By determining the level of a plurality of biomarkers and genetic markers in a patient sample, and combining the obtained values according to a predefined formula, it is possible to forecast if it is likely that the prostate cancer patient will require active therapy like radiation therapy or surgery. A method based on a redundantly designed combination of data is disclosed for estimating if prostate cancer is aggressive or indolent. Said method combines SNP data to form a composite value, wherein at least 5% of the SNPs can be disregarded.
