Prostate Cancer (PCa) Biochip
Why use Biochip?
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the 2nd most commonly occurring cancer in men and the 4th most common cancer overall. About 1 in 8 men will get Prostate Cancer in their lifetime.
Histological assessment of prostate tissue obtained by Transperineal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate (TURP) is commonly used in PCa diagnosis. This method has however been associated with a 75% negative biopsy rate and the procedure also associated with increased rate of UTI (15.5%). Another commonly used method of diagnosis is through histological assessment of prostate tissue obtained by Trans Rectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate (TRUS). This method however has an estimated false negative rate of 1-in-3 with three quarters reporting at least one minor complication after biopsy.
Randox have demonstrated novel serum combination of 4 biomarkers significantly improved the predictive potential of tPSA alone to identify patients with PCa.
