Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of malignant neoplasms in men. In this regard, it is relevant to search for diagnostic markers that allow the creation of inexpensive, effective tests for early diagnosis of the disease, predicting the risk of relapse and assessing the effectiveness of the therapy. Existing invasive methods for diagnosing prostate cancer present some difficulties for patients. This article discusses the diagnostic capabilities of tissue biomarkers of prostate cancer obtained by non-invasive methods.
