ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) subfractions in serum as a prognostic or predictive indicator for breast carcinoma. In particular this invention relates to an in vitro blood test for the diagnosis of breast cancer using serum PSA subfractions. Serum PSA subfractions are remarkably different in the serum from breast cancer patients, normal male patients and female patients treated for breast cancer.
