Herein, we describe a novel approach in the search for prostate cancer biomarkers, which relies on the transcriptome within tumour exosomes. As a proof-of-concept, we show the presence of two known prostate cancer biomarkers, PCA-3 and TMPRSS2: ERG the in exosomes isolated from urine of patients, showing the potential for diagnosis and monitoring cancer patients status.
