The proposed screening approach could help cut number of false positives detected by current tests.
A new study has discovered that calculating a person's risk of developing prostate cancer using results from two blood makers can improve the accuracy of screening for the disease.
Algorithm could be developed into a national screening programme if further studies prove successful
Calculating a person's risk of developing prostate cancer using results from two blood markers would improve the accuracy of screening for the disease, reports a new study led by a UCL researcher.
A new risk algorithm would improve screening for prostate cancer say researchers behind a new study, who found that two blood markers are more accurate than one.
