Can measurements of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 improve the sensitivity of prostate-cancer screening?

A Wolk et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Further well designed studies are urgently needed to clarify if use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a diagnostic test for prostate cancer can be improved by incorporating measurements of serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding-protein 3 (IGFBP-3), and if these measurements might also identify men at higher risk.
