Prostate Cancer • From 2003-2007 median age for diagnosis was 67 • The age-adjusted incidence rate was 156.9/100, 000 men per year • The median age at death was 80 • The age-adjusted death rate was 24.7/100, 000 men per year http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/prost.html
Results from LC and GC-MS Chinnaiyan, Nature 2009; 457(12): 911
Sarcosine identified as a biomarker for prostate cancer Chinnaiyan, Nature 2009; 457(12): 913
Is sarcosine a biomarker for prostate cancer? GC-MS data Jung, Journal of Urology 2011; 185: 708
Summary • Metabolomics has emerged as a fast and efficient method for the identification of a small set of candidate biomarkers from a large eclectic data set • LC/MS, GC/MS, and NMR are important metabolomic technologies • Future studies will further explain sarcosine’s role in Prostate Cancer
