  • MiRNA-based predictive models for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer
    Patent number: 10480033
    Abstract: The lack of clear predictors of prostate cancer progression leads to subjective decision-making regarding courses of treatment. The identification of new biomarkers that are predictive of recurrence after radical prostatectomy would advance the field of prostate cancer treatment. Disclosed are miRNAs that can be used as molecular biomarkers to detect or predict the progression of prostate cancer and to adjust a treatment plan accordingly. Furthermore, kits are included for the detection of these miRNAs.
    Type: Grant
