前列腺癌是世界上男性第二常见的癌症。大概每九个男子中就有一人在一生中被诊断出前列腺癌。据估计，2018年美国将有约16万5千例前列腺癌新发病例，致死约29,000例。

前列腺癌原先通过直肠指检诊断，如果医生发现前列腺组织、形状或大小的任何异常，就需要让患者做进一步检验。前列腺特异抗原(PSA)检验被用来分析血样中是否有前列腺自然产生的一种物质。

以色列雷霍沃特市开普兰医疗中心的科学家开展的一项临床研究包括59份尿样（来自28名前列腺癌阳性患者与31名健康对照者），一名细胞病理学家用以色列特拉维夫Micromedic Technologies公司的CellDetect独一颜色标记物检查过这些样本。CellDetect是新一代细胞病理染色平台，可准确检测癌症。它基于颜色与形态的独特组合提供专利型诊断解决方案。多项临床研究已证明CellDetect检测宫颈癌与膀胱癌的效力，据估计，这项技术还可用于检测别的癌症。

科研小组发现，所检验的59份样本中，高达80%得到明确诊断并相应出现在临床研究结果中。比较前列腺癌阳性患者的结果与临床研究前这些患者的活检结果。结果表明Micromedic公司的产品成功检测到尿样中的前列腺癌细胞，灵敏度高达91.3%，特异性为75%。

Micromedic公司CEO、工商管理硕士Guy Lerner说：“这项临床研究的结果令我们非常高兴，它说明CellDetect技术有望显著改进前列腺癌的诊断。虽然前列腺癌是世界上男性第二常见的癌症，但是我们知道现有的诊断检验不可靠。有了这些临床研究的结果，我们确信我们的产品有望颠覆前列腺癌诊断，为患者提供一种准确可靠的无创检验，通过节省可观的医疗费改良卫生系统。”
