The metabolites citrate, myo‐inositol, and spermine are potential age‐independent markers of prostate cancer in human expressed prostatic secretions

Abstract

The results indicate that citrate, myo-inositol and spermine are potentially important markers of PCa in human EPS. Further, the absolute concentrations of these metabolites in EPS appear to be independent of age, increasing the potential utility of these markers due to elimination of age as a confounding variable.
