Abstract
- Purpose: Markers are needed to increase the diagnostic accuracy of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Mounting evidence has shown that plasma proteins can be hopeful biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Methods: Tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis were used to screen the differential proteins and further validated in other independent studies (n = 539). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC), decision curves and nomograms were applied to assess the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers. Results: Three candidate proteins (DBP, LCAT and ORM2) were preliminarily screened. Subsequent validation studies revealed significant upregulation of ORM2 in PCa patients across other independent cohorts. ORM2 yielded excellent discriminative power for PCa from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients (AUC = 0.861 and 0.814 in validation phases 2a and 2b, respectively). Importantly, the combination of ORM2 and PSA gave better predictive accuracy than PSA alone. We incorporated age, PSA and ORM2 into a nomogram, which yielded C-index of 0.883 in validation phase 2a. A similar C-index of 0.879 was obtained in external validation phase 2b. Conclusions: In summary, our study suggests that ORM2 could be treated as a complementary biomarker for PSA in distinguishing PCa from BPH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
