Three new potential biomarkers--PAC, PMA, and the 7E11-C5 glycoprotein--have been identified. All three have unique features that could augment current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Some of the important characteristics of these potential markers are summarized in Table 1. Further studies will be required to determine if any of them will provide clinical information beyond that provided by PSA and if they will have a significant impact on the management of patients with prostate cancer. The MAb 7E11-C5 (CYT-356), now in clinical trials, promises to offer new strategies for radioimmunodetection and radioimmunotherapy of prostate cancer.
