1. A method for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer in a subject comprising:
- (1) detecting the protein level of one or more of the prostate cancer related markers filamin B and keratin 19 in a serum sample isolated from a subject suspected of having prostate cancer;
(2) comparing the protein level of the one or more prostate cancer related markers in the serum sample with the protein level of the one or more prostate cancer related markers in a normal control sample;
(3) diagnosing the subject as having prostate cancer when an increased protein level of the one or more prostate cancer related markers is detected in the serum sample relative to the normal control sample; and
(4) performing surgical prostate resection on the diagnosed subject, thereby diagnosing and treating prostate cancer in the subject.
