The present disclosure relates to a method of determining whether a mammalian subject belongs to a first or a second group of subjects, wherein the risk of having a prostate cancer, such as an aggressive prostate cancer, is higher in the first group than in the second group. The method comprises the steps of:
a) evaluating an amount of unglycosylated CNDP1 protein in a sample derived from blood, semen or urine from the subject and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount;
b) comparing the sample value with a predetermined reference value; and if the sample value is lower than or equal to the reference value,
c1) concluding that the subject belongs to the first group; and if the sample value is higher than the reference value,
c2) concluding that the subject belongs to the second group. Further, the present disclosure relates to a similar method based on the protein HCRTR1 as well as corresponding uses and means useful when carrying out the methods.
