Study leader professor Johann de Bono said: “At the moment assess in the clinic how men with advanced prostate cancer are responding to their treatment. Measuring the levels of circulating tumour cells in blood samples could be a relatively quick and effective way to test men in the ...

In a large retrospective study of blood samples, the researchers showed that the method, called a "liquid biopsy," could accurately distinguishprostate cancerfrom normal controls without prior knowledge of the genetic "signature" of the tumors, and with over three times the sensitivity of current ...

being tested for prostate cancer overall. For example: ‘I tried not to think about the PSA blood test’ (time-point 1); ‘I tried not to think about going for my biopsy’ (time-point 2); ‘I tried not to think about getting my biopsy results’ (time-point 3) and ‘I tried not...
it would be fundamental to add a peripheral compartment to the model, because most of the human data derives from peripheral tissues, such as blood. In this context, our model represents an initial step toward the development of a QSP model including the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics descri...
