Molecular detection of localized prostate cancer using quantitative methylation-specific PCR on urinary cells obtained following prostate massage.
PURPOSE: The diagnosis of localized prostate cancer is difficult due to a lack of cancer-specific biomarkers. Many patients require repeat prostate biopsies to diagnose the disease. We investigated whether aberrant promoter hypermethylation in prostatic fluid could reliably detect prostate cancer....
