Combining tissue biomarkers with mpMRI to diagnose clinically significant prostate cancer. Analysis of 21 biomarkers in the PICTURE study

There is a high demand to develop biomarkers that would help the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Tissue biomarkers are of particular interest since immunohistochemistry remains a cheap, reliable method that is widely available in pathology departments. These results demonstrate that testing biomarkers in a cohort consistent with the current diagnostic pathway is crucial to identifying biomarker with potential clinical utility.
