Abstract
For many years, PSA has been the most commonly used biomarker for prostate cancer screening and diagnosis. Although serum PSA measurement is highly sensitive, this biomarker has several limitations. Citrate, a molecule closely linked to the unique metabolism of prostate cancer, has the potential to be used as a complementary biomarker alongside PSA.
