Prostate Cancer
• From 2003-2007 median age for diagnosis was 67
• The age-adjusted incidence rate was 156.9/100, 000 men per year
• The median age at death was 80• The age-adjusted death rate was
24.7/100, 000 men per year

Results from LC and GC-MS
Chinnaiyan, Nature 2009; 457(12): 911
Sarcosine identified as a biomarker for prostate cancer
Chinnaiyan, Nature 2009; 457(12): 913
Is sarcosine a biomarker for prostate cancer?

GC-MS data
Summary
• Metabolomics has emerged as a fast and efficient method for the identification of a small set of candidate biomarkers from a large eclectic data set
• LC/MS, GC/MS, and NMR are important metabolomic technologies
• Future studies will further explain sarcosine’s role in Prostate Cancer
