Diagnosis of prostate cancer by detection of minichromosome maintenance 5 protein in urine sediments
20 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The accuracy of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in prostate cancer detection is constrained by low sensitivity and specificity. Dysregulated expression of minichromosome maintenance (Mcm) 2-7 proteins is an early event in epithelial multistep carcinogenesis and thus MCM proteins represent powerful cancer diagnostic markers. In this study we investigate Mcm5 as a urinary biomarker for prostate...
