IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR IMPROVED PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

The invention provides biomarkers that can discriminate between prostate cancer and normal tissue as well as identification of associated metastatic disease. One biomarker was identified as a peptide fragment of MEKK2. Methods of diagnosing prostate cancer, including metastatic cancer, by detecting the differential expression of one or more biomarkers are also provided.
