Novel urine-based test evaluated in prostate cancer detection and risk stratification (THE ASCO POST)
"In a validation study with data presented at the American Urological Association’s 2021 Annual Meeting, clinician-researchers reported that a new test (miR Sentinel PCC4 Test) may be able to detect and risk-classify prostate cancer at the molecular level with predictive accuracy based on a single urine sample. The data were reported on September 12, 2021, in a late-breaking abstract...When compared with systematic core needle biopsy, results of the Sentinel (PCC4) Test validation study demonstrated a 93% concordance between the two methods of screening/detection regarding classification of clinically significant cancer. The accuracy of the classification of 'not clinically significant' cancer was 96%."
