Cheap and sensitive test for a key prostate cancer marker

11 Sep 2015

By Bethany Johnson.

Michael Spencelayh writes about a hot Faraday Discussions article for Chemistry World

Scientists in Italy have developed a cheap and disposable sensor that can detect the presence of the prostate cancer biomarker sarcosine in urine.

Worldwide, prostate cancer is the second most common tumour in males and is responsible for more than 250,000 deaths each year. An early diagnosis – when the tumour is organ-confined – dramatically improves the success of therapy and is achieved by monitoring certain marker molecules.
