Prostate cancer researchers have discovered biomarkers using non-invasive liquid biopsies to identify aggressive disease before surgery.
The research, published online today in Nature Communications, advances the quest to develop a precise, non-invasive diagnostic tool that can address the worldwide clinical dilemma of over-treating slow-growing, low-risk prostate cancers in men that may never actually need to be treated, says principal investigator Thomas Kislinger, Senior Scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network. Dr. Kislinger is also Associate Professor, Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto.
