Highly portable quantitative screening test for prostate-specific antigen at point of care

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer among men. Targeted PCa screening may decrease PCa-specific mortality. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most reliable and widely accepted tumor biomarker for screening and monitoring PCa status. However, in many settings, quantification...

Highly portable quantitative screening test for prostate-specific antigen at point of care
