Diagnostic and Prognostic MicroRNA Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer in Cell-free Urine

Abstract

Using two large patient cohorts, we searched for novel prostate cancer biomarkers in urine. We found two new sets of microRNA biomarkers in urine that could accurately predict the presence of prostate cancer and the likelihood of recurrence after prostatectomy. Further studies are needed before an actual clinical test can be developed.
