Genetic risk score may reduce invasive prostate biopsies
In research published Thursday in the British Journal of Cancer, the U.K.-based researchers calculated genetic risk for prostate cancer by leveraging more than 250 known genetic variants that are commonly linked to the disease. These genetic variants were all combined to form a single genetic risk score that could then be used to assess an individual's genetic risk of developing prostate cancer.

Cleveland Diagnostics' IsoPSA gets NCCN prostate cancer listing
The guidelines now suggest use of IsoPSA to categorize probability of high-grade prostate cancer (i.e., Gleason score equal to or greater than 3+4, and group grade of 2 or higher) before a first biopsy or after a negative biopsy, the company said.

Accounting for genetic factors may improve PSA testing
Presenter Linda Kachuri, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues investigated whether particular genetic factors could cause variations in PSA levels that are not due to cancer, and whether accounting for these could improve PSA testing. They conducted a study that included 95,000 men with diagnosed prostate cancer from cohorts in the U.S., the U.K., and Sweden and identified 128 PSA-associated variants they used to "build a polygenic score for PSA levels."

MiR Scientific, Leonie Hill to partner on prostate cancer test
The test uses a single urine sample to identify prostate cancer and classify disease severity, according to miR Scientific. Its technology is based on analyzing small noncoding RNAs taken from urinary exosomes; clinical studies have shown that it can find and categorize clinically significant prostate cancer with more than 90% accuracy, the company said.
