Study: PSA level changes important; Prostate cancer fatality rate seems linked to how rapidly test numbers fluctuateASSOCIATED PRESS
Method for estimating histopathological diagnosis of prostate cancer (Gleason score) The present invention provides a method for obtaining an index value used for histopathological diagnosis of prostate cancer, which can be implemented with low invasiveness and low cost. The method according to the prese...
