Biomarkers and Personalized Medicine

Graphic from Biomarkers and Personalized Medicine presentation

Dr. Daniel Spratt discusses the latest developments in biomarkers. Early detection of prostate cancer is largely carried out using assessment of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level; yet it cannot reliably discriminate between benign pathologies and clinically significant forms of prostate cancer. To overcome the current limitations of PSA, new urinary and serum biomarkers have been developed in recent years.

This session was part of our VIRTUAL ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit, which took place from March 4 to 8, 2022.
