Oxford Study Links Blood Proteins to Future Prostate Cancer Risk
Researchers found 12 blood proteins linked to future prostate cancer risk, including seven tied to aggressive disease, and said the markers appeared years before diagnosis.
- In the largest study of its kind, Oxford University researchers identified 12 proteins in blood samples linked to prostate cancer, offering potential to predict the disease over a decade before diagnosis.
- Prostate cancer causes more than 12,000 deaths annually in Britain, often going undetected until advanced stages since early-stage tumors frequently lack symptoms.
- Researchers measured more than 6,000 proteins in 2,555 participants, identifying GZMK and ANKRD1 as markers linked to aggressive forms of the disease.
- Professor Prabhakar Rajan of Queen Mary University of London cautioned the findings "do not yet establish that a protein-based blood test can reliably identify" patients for routine clinical use.
- Future research through the Prostate Cancer Aetiology and Prevention Programme will investigate whether these markers can improve risk assessment and ultimately help prevent aggressive prostate cancer.
