Description
See-Tong Pang and co-authors test a urine sensor for a small RNA that may flag prostate cancer. Their 2024 study measures microRNA-21, a molecule whose levels shift in several cancers. The sensor is built on silver nanoparticles and aims for a simple, non-invasive screen.
Thirty-eight urine samples came from ten cancer patients at three points around surgery, plus men with benign prostate growth and healthy controls. The sensor agreed with a standard lab test and could detect very low levels with good selectivity. Levels of the marker fell sharply three months after surgery in cancer patients. Cancer and benign groups both differed clearly from healthy men. The authors propose the sensor as a helper for early detection.
