PILOT STUDY FOR IDENTIFYING URINARY PROSTATE CANCER BIOMARKERS

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Urinary prostate cancer protein biomarkers are important for early cancer detection. A urine test at this point can significantly reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies done as a result of elevated serum PSA. The application of genomics to cancer cells has allowed the identification of a number of candidate biomarkers for further investigations. This pilot study will utilize the advanced targeted proteomic technology using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) under the resource center for testing the discriminatory power of identified cancer proteins in urine samples. The application is also anticipated to drive further development and optimization of the targeted MRM technology.
