Identification of Biomarkers for Screening and Monitoring of Prostate Cancer and Prostate Related Diseases

摘要

A system and method for determining presence of prostate cancer or prostate related diseases is provided. The method includes first obtaining a test sample from a test subject. Next, at least one ultrastructural biomarker indicative of prostate cancer within the sample may be identified. Thereafter, qualitative or quantitative data from the ultrastructural biomarker in the test sample can be obtained. The qualitative or quantitative data of the biomarker in the sample from the test subject can then be compared to that in a sample from a control subject for variations. The presence of qualitative and quantitative variations can act as a determinant for prostate cancer or prostate related diseases.
