Research Article: PCA and TMPRSS: ERG Urine Level as Diagnostic Biomarker of Prostate Cancer

Date Published: 2023-05-05

Abstract:
Prostate cancer is a prevalent and potentially lethal malignancy, with an incidence rate of . per . males per year in Asia. In Indonesia, according to Globocan , the incidence rate is about . males. Globally, this number has increased significantly over the past few years and is predicted to grow within the next few years continually. Due to the inadequate accuracy of PSA, which only has a % diagnostic sensitivity, –% specificity for prostate cancers, and considerable morbidity associated with biopsies, therein lies the need for a more accurate and less invasive diagnostic tool for a high-risk population for prostate cancer. Advent in tumor markers research has identified several biomarkers used for new tests. Some of the most frequently studied biomarkers are Prostate Cancer Gene (PCA) and TMPRSS: ERG.
