Grupo Terralpe CEO Javier Prieto said: “BPGbio’s pstateDx test will enhance our healthcare offering and we are eager to bring the benefits of this novel prostate cancer diagnostic test to Mexico.”
The non-prostate-specific antigen-based molecular diagnostic blood test helps measure filamin A, a crucial biological prostate cancer driver.
Clinicians can use the risk score offered by the test for differentiating between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and aggressive prostate cancer at the initial screening time.
It was estimated that roughly 2.3 million men in Mexico had been diagnosed with BPH, according to a study published in 2019.
