Golgi phosphoprotein 2 (GOLPH2), a potential biomarker for hepatocellular and prostatic carcinomas, is highly expressed in normal renal tubules as well as some renal cell carcinomas, rendering it unsuitable as a biomarker for renal cell cancer.

Artificial neural networks accounting for changes over time in PSA & percent free PSA are of limited use in detecting prostate cancer, but may save 11-17% of men with benign prostate hyperplasia from unnecessary biopsies.
