AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current methods for diagnosing prostate cancer, particularly castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), are inadequate due to low specificity and sensitivity, leading to misdiagnosis and limited therapeutic options.

Method used

A marker set comprising specific substances such as acetone, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid, phenylacetylglutamine, and others, is used to distinguish CRPC from non-CRPC and predict the risk of developing CRPC by analyzing body fluids using techniques like NMR spectroscopy.

Benefits of technology

The marker set effectively differentiates CRPC from non-CRPC and predicts the risk of CRPC development with improved accuracy, as evidenced by AUC values in ROC plots, providing a valuable diagnostic tool.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of a marker set comprising at least four substances chosen from the group consisting of acetone, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid, phenylacetylglutamine, N-acetylglutamine, L-tyrosine, dimethylamine, L-leucine, mannitol, sucrose, cis-aconitic acid, alanine, and scyllo-inositol in an in-vitro method for distinguishing castration-resistant prostate cancer from non-castration resistant prostate cancer and / or for determining the risk of an individual to develop castration-resistant prostate cancer.
