The prostate cancer screening paradigm commonly consists of a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, a digital rectal examination, a transrectal ultrasound, and prostatic biopsies, but each of these methods has its disadvantages, spanning from low accuracy, i.e., when PSA is used alone, to invasiveness, i.e., in transrectal examinations or biopsies. Here, KLK3 is linked to prostate carcinoma.
