Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second-most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Serum prostatespecific antigen is currently used for the early detection of prostate cancer. However, new biomarkers are needed to decrease over diagnosis and over treatment of prostate cancer due to limitations of prostate-specific antigen. Recently, molecular biomarkers have shown promising results for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Molecular biomarkers have improved the sensitivity and specificity of prostate-specific antigen and studies are ongoing to identify molecular biomarkers as a replacement for prostate-specific antigen. This review aims to give an overview of emerging molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Malaysian Journal of Pathology is the official journal of the College of Pathologists, Academy of Medicine Malaysia. The primary purpose of The Journal is to publish the results of study and research in Pathology, especially those that have particular relevance to human disease occurring in Malaysia and other countries in this region. The term PATHOLOGY will be interpreted in its broadest sense to include Chemical Pathology, Cytology, Experimental Pathology, Forensic Pathology, Haematology, Histopathology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology. The Journal aims to bring under one cover publications of regional interest embracing the various sub-specialities of Pathology. It is expected that the articles published would be of value not only to pathologists, but also to medical practitioners in search of a scientific basis for the problems encountered in their practice, and to those with an interest in diseases which occur in the tropics.
