The present application concerns a new in vitro method for assessing the risk that a subject suffers from prostate cancer. The method comprises measuring the expression level the level of at least two miRs selected from group of miRs consisting of: hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7e-5p, hsa-let-7f-5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa-miR-106a-5p, hsa-miR-10a-5p, hsa-miR-10b-5p, hsa-miR-1238-3p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, hsa-miR-1260a, hsa-miR-130a-3p, hsa-miR-132-3p, hsa-miR-135a-5p, hsa-miR-135b-5p, hsa-miR-136-5p, hsa-miR-140-3p, hsa-miR-141-3p, hsa-miR-142-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsa-miR-148a-3p, hsa-miR-151a-3p, hsa-miR-151a-5p, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-191-5p, hsa-miR-1972, hsa-miR-19a-3p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, hsa-miR-200a-3p, hsa-miR-200b-3p, hsa-miR-200b-5p, hsa-miR-200c-3p, hsa-miR-203a, hsa-miR-204-5p, hsa-miR-205-5p, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-210, hsa-miR-222-3p, hsa-miR-223-3p, hsa-miR-22-5p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-25-3p, hsa-miR-26a-5p, hsa-miR-27b-3p, hsa-miR-29a-3p, hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-29c-3p, hsa-miR-30a-3p, hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-30b-5p, hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-miR-31-3p, hsa-miR-31-5p, hsa-miR-320a, hsa-miR-320b, hsa-miR-320c, hsa-miR-331-3p, hsa-miR-362-3p, hsa-miR-362-5p, hsa-miR-363-3p, hsa-miR-375, hsa-miR-378a-3p, hsa-miR-425-3p, hsa-miR-425-5p, hsa-miR-455-3p, hsa-miR-490-3p, hsa-miR-660-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-99a-5p, and hsa-miR-99b-5p, in a urine sample from the patient. A method wherein the at least two selected miRs are: hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR-222-3p, and hsa-miR-24-3p is preferred. The application also concerns a kit of parts to perform the in vitro method.

MicroRNA-based method for early detection of prostate cancer in urine samples

The present application concerns a new in vitro method for assessing the prognosis of a prostate cancer patient, comprising measuring the expression level of at least two miRs selected from group of miRs consisting of: miR-106a-5p, miR-10b-5p, miR-133a-3p, mi R-152-3p, miR-185-5p, miR-193a-5p, miR-221-3p, miR-23a-3p, miR-30d-3p, miR-326, mi R-374b-5p, miR-615-3p and mi R-625-3p in a RNA sample from prostate cells obtained from said patient, wherein a changed expression level of said at least 2 miRs, as compared to a reference expression profile, is indicative of the prognosis of said prostate cancer patient.

Microrna-based method for assessing the prognosis of a prostate cancer patient

The present application concerns methods and tools for diagnosing prostate cancer and furthermore concerns methods and tools for prognosing disease progression of prostate cancer. The method comprises determining methylation level of the genes C1orf114, HAPLN3, AOX1, GAS6, ST6GALNAC3 and ZNF660 and comparing the result with a control, thus obtaining a response which is used for diagnosing a prostate cancer and/or for prognosing aspects of an individual suffering from prostate cancer.
