The UroOnc Minute: Neoadjuvant Therapy Before Radical Prostatectomy, With Isaac Y. Kim, MD, PhD, MBA
Isaac Y. Kim, MD, PhD, MBA, joins to discuss the evolving data surrounding neoadjuvant therapy before radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer.
Scientists at Northwestern University have developed an ultra-sensitivetechnology based on gold nanoparticles and DNA that can detect PSA whenpresent at extremely low levels in the blood sample. The new protein-detectionmethod could be used to monitor prostate cancer patients following surgery,according to the researchers, whose findings are published in the Sept.26 issue of the journal Science (2003; 301:1884-6).
