  • CANCER BIOMARKERS
    Publication number: 20180031562
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for screening for prostate cancer in a subject. In particular, the present invention provides a method of for screening for prostate cancer in a subject, said method comprising determining the level of one or more of certain polypeptides in a urinary exosome-containing sample that has been obtained from a subject. Such methods can be used to for diagnosing prostate cancer, for the prognosis of prostate cancer, for monitoring the progression of prostate cancer in a subject, for determining the clinical severity of prostate cancer, for predicting the response of a subject to therapy, or for determining the efficacy of a therapeutic regime being used to treat prostate cancer.
