The new prostate-cancer kit, which took several years to develop, measures the amount of a particular amino acid protein – called PSP94 – in a urine sample from a patient.

But the company, Miraculins, said further research is also needed to confirm the validity of PSP94 as a biomarker for prostate cancer.
