Claims15
A method for characterizing a prostate cancer comprising:
- (a) determining an expression level of miRNA-141 in a biological sample of a human subject;
- (b) determining an expression level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in a biological sample of said human subject;
- (c) multiplying said expression level of said miRNA-141 with said level of PSA to obtain a product value;
- and
- (d) characterizing said prostate cancer based on said product value.
