These data demonstrate that this investigational assay used in conjunction with current screening algorithms may potentially add value to the biopsy decision making process.
The prostate cancer methylation assay correlated with positive biopsy and with Gleason score. This assay has the potential to add value to the biopsy decision making process by improving current prostate cancer screening algorithms to more accurately identify men with prostate cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
