ClarityDX Prostate®: Redefining Precision Medicine and Transforming Prostate Cancer Diagnostics
Prostate cancer is a major concern for men's health, with early detection being vital for effective treatment. It remains the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer among Canadian men, and traditional methods like the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test often result in false positives, leading to unnecessary biopsies. ClarityDX Prostate, developed by Nanostics, an Alberta based precision health company, in collaboration with the Alberta Prostate Cancer Research Initiative (APCaRI), offers a non-invasive, precise solution for predicting prostate cancer and represents a transformative step forward in prostate cancer screening.
