Detecting the undetectable in prostate cancer screening (EurekAlert!)
( Northwestern University ) Northwestern University researchers, using an extremely sensitive tool based on nanotechnology, have detected previously undetectable levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy. With technology 300 times more sensitive than commercially available PSA tests, the researchers found measureable PSA levels in each post … (read the story…) Related... »
