PREDICTIVE TEST FOR AGGRESSIVENESS OR INDOLENCE OF PROSTATE CANCER FROM MASS SPECTROMETRY OF BLOOD-BASED SAMPLE

摘要

A programmed computer functioning as a classifier operates on mass spectral data obtained from a blood-based patient sample to predict indolence or aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Methods of generating the classifier and conducting a test on a blood-based sample from a prostate cancer patient using the classifier are described.
