Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a method for simply and highly accurately detecting castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and a reagent that can be used for this method. By measuring the level of GDF15 propeptide present in a sample as a novel detection marker for CRPC, acquisition of castration resistance in a prostate cancer patient during or after endocrine therapy is detected. An antibody that specifically recognizes GDF15 propeptide is included in the CRPC detection reagent.
