Abstract

High blood levels of leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) is unfavourable in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk or metastatic prostate cancer. Implementation of a blood test for LRG1 alongside standard risk stratification schemes could provide higher precision in treatment decisions.
