First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test that looks at proteins in platelets (a type of blood cell) to see if it can find prostate cancer more accurately than current methods like PSA tests and biopsies. Researchers at Duke University will enroll 300 men who are already being checked for prostate cancer. The test is low-risk, requiring only a few extra tubes of blood, and aims to provide a safer, simpler way to diagnose and monitor the disease.
