Initially, we envision this new test could be used as a supplement to PSA. A physician might suggest a patient with an elevated PSA have this test before a biopsy to better determine whether it's a cancerous or benign condition. In the future, I think this could replace PSA. |
It was a serendipitous discovery, something very surprising to us. |
It's a controversial arena -- the PSA is a marker of prostate bulk and size, but it's highly expressed in benign prostate disease as well as cancer -- so in that context it's not a specific marker. |
There is really intriguing evidence that this particular gene fusion is the causative agent of prostate cancer. |
These 22 markers ended up being the best combination of markers that allow us to most effectively diagnose prostate cancer. |
This was a discovery study that established the concept of taking advantage of the immune system to detect cancer. |
