Sarcosine as a Potential Prostate Cancer Biomarker—A Review
Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common type of tumour disease in men. Early diagnosis of cancer of the prostate is very important, because the sooner the cancer is detected, the better it is treated. According to that fact, there is great interest in the finding of new markers including amino acids, proteins or nucleic acids. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is commonly used and is the most im...
متن کاملThe Role of Adiponectin in Prostate Cancer: A Narrative Review
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common type of cancer among men over 60 years old. The aggressiveness and mortality of PCa can be correlated with obesity. Adipose tissue-derived cytokines such as adiponectin may explain the correlation between PCa and obesity. Since the correlation between adiponectin and aggressive PCa is still not fully evaluated, we aimed to investigate the probable role o...
متن کاملA case control study of sarcosine as an early prostate cancer detection biomarker
BACKGROUND Sarcosine has been investigated as a prostate cancer biomarker with mixed results concerning its predictive power. We performed a case-control evaluation of the predictive value of serum sarcosine for early detection in a population-based cohort of men undergoing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. METHODS For analysis we used 251 cancer cases and 246 age-matched non-cancer ...

متن کاملGATA2 as a potential metastasis-driving gene in prostate cancer
Effective treatment for metastatic prostate cancer is critically needed. The present study was aimed at identifying metastasis-driving genes as potential targets for therapy (oncotargets). A differential gene expression profile of metastatic LTL-313H and non-metastatic LTL-313B prostate cancer tissue xenografts, derived from one patient's specimen, was subjected to integrative analysis using th...
