Abstract:
A method of detecting the presence of a prostate cancer in a human subject comprising the steps of (a) obtaining a histologically normal prostate tissue sample from the patient and (b) quantifying the epithelial thickness or gland lumen roundness of the tissue, wherein an increase in epithelial thickness or a decrease in gland lumen roundness indicates the presence of prostate cancer or a prostate cancer field defect.
