Blood Proteins May Predict Prostate Cancer Risk Over a Decade Before Diagnosis

Audio narration · Coming soon

A new study led by Oxford Population Health researchers found that certain blood proteins related to the immune system, cell adhesion, blood vessel formation, and known prostate cancer genes are associated with future prostate cancer risk. This includes the risk of developing aggressive forms of the disease, potentially allowing for earlier detection more than ten years before diagnosis.
