Abstrakt: Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are prevalent conditions affecting a significant portion of the male population, particularly with advancing age. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as digital rectal examination (DRE) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, have limitations in specificity and sensitivity, leading to potential overdiagnosis and unnecessary biopsies.
Significance: This study explores the effectiveness of 1 H NMR urine metabolomics in distinguishing PCa from BPH and in differentiating various PCa grades, presenting a non-invasive diagnostic alternative with the potential to enhance early detection and patient-specific treatment strategies.
Results: The study demonstrated the capability of 1 H NMR urine metabolomics in detecting distinct metabolic profiles between PCa and BPH, as well as among different Gleason grade groups. Notably, this method surpassed the PSA test in distinguishing PCa from BPH. Untargeted metabolomics analysis also revealed several metabolites with varying relative concentrations between PCa and BPH cases, suggesting potential biomarkers for these conditions.
