New technique can rapidly diagnose prostate cancer from urine
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men. Patients are determined to have prostate cancer primarily based on PSA, a cancer factor in blood. However, as diagnostic accuracy is as low as 30%, a considerable number of patients undergo additional invasive biopsy and thus suffer from resultant side effects, such as bleeding and pains.
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that the collaborative research team led by Dr. Kwan Hyi Lee from the Biomaterials Research Center and Professor In Gab Jeong from Asan Medical Center developed a technique for diagnosing prostate cancer from urine within only twenty minutes with almost 100% accuracy. The research team developed this technique by introducing a smart AI analysis method to an electrical-signal-based ultrasensitive biosensor.

Scientists in South Korea have developed a non-invasive, lightning-fast test that diagnoses prostate cancer with a stunning accuracy of up to 100%. Unlike traditional methods that require a biopsy, this test, which employs a smart AI analysis method, only needs a urine sample.
Prostate cancer is one of the most dangerous types of cancers out there, especially for older men, with about 99% of cases occur in those over the age of 50. It is the second-leading cause of cancer death for men in the United States. About 1 in 35 men will die from it.
