Summary: | Novel markers for prostate cancer that are both sensitive and accurate. Furthermore, these markers are able to distinguish between prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia ("BPH"). These markers are overexpressed in prostate cancer specifically, as opposed to normal prostate tissue and/or BPH. The measurement of these markers, alone or in combination, in patient samples provides information that the diagnostician can correlate with a probable diagnosis of prostate cancer. The markers of the present invention, alone or in combination, show a high degree of differential detection between prostate cancer and non-cancerous states. |
