BMC Urology 2009, 9 :3
High prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels with isolated high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia at first biopsy are predictive of prostate cancer development, suggesting a need for shorter intervals between repeat biopsies in those with intermediate and higher PSA levels.
BMC Urology 2009, 9 :1
Robert Hurst discusses the problems surrounding detection and monitoring of bladder cancer and the potential utility of a whole-genome approach using systems biology to develop a clinically effective biomarker panel.
