| Abstract |
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed among men and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths globally. It is particularly dangerous as it metastasizes the bones, lymph nodes, and may even invade the rectum and bladder. However, if caught early, the mortality rate is not severe. Therefore, early diagnosis is key. Prostate cancer is most commonly diagnosed by detection of increased Prostate-Specific Antigen(PSA) levels via blood test. While effective for diagnosis, this methodology provides limited prognosis benefits. As a consequence, we designed and synthesized a PSA-targeting fluorogenic probe for imaging prostate cancer cells. We hope that this will aid in faster and more effective diagnosis of prostate cancer. |
