Improving the effectiveness of the PSA test

The current PSA test needs to be more effective and reliable. A personalised approach to modify this test could improve its effectiveness. This study will comprehensively analyse how an inherited factor affects PSA’s role in disease progression. The outcomes from this study may lead to a new type of PSA test that has the potential to save and improve the lives of men with prostate cancer.
