Abstract
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.
