Outline of Final Research Achievements

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is used for diagnosis of prostate cancer, but detection range called gray zone, 4-10 ng / ml, includes benign disease patients 70%. An unnecessary biopsy is performed in patients with benign diseases at present. The cancer-specific glycosylated peptide antibodies were prepared from haptoglobin (Hpt) and IgG from prostate cancer patient serum. I have developed a multiplex bead bound antibody detection method capable of simultaneous measurement of multiple items. The glycosylation amounts of Hpt and IgG in Serum between prostate cancer patients, benign diseases patients, and healthy subjects were compared. As a result, changes in prostate cancer-specific sugar chain structure could be confirmed in cancer patients. The possibility to distinguish between cancer patient and benign disease patient or healthy individual can doing. These results demonstrated the possibility of definitive diagnosis that does not require biopsy of prostate cancer.
