Sarcosine is a glycine metabolite that has been investigated as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer detection 1. A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the predictive value of serum sarcosine for early detection in a population-based cohort of men undergoing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. The study concluded that serum sarcosine should not be pursued further as a marker for the early detection of prostate cancer 1. Another study found that sarcosine is produced in large amounts by cancerous cells in aggressive and potentially metastatic prostate tumors, and sarcosine levels can be measured noninvasively using a urine test. This compound holds promise as a biomarker for identification of men at greatest risk of developing metastatic prostate cancer 2.

There is no evidence to suggest that sarcosine causes cancer. In fact, sarcosine has been investigated as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer detection 1. A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the predictive value of serum sarcosine for early detection in a population-based cohort of men undergoing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. The study concluded that serum sarcosine should not be pursued further as a marker for the early detection of prostate cancer 1.

There is a thread dedicated to the topic of sarcosine here. Start reading from post 690 to find the answer to your question

Sarcosine Reduces Symptoms in Schizophrenia

There has been quite a bit of good research over the past 8 years on a dietary supplement called Sarcosine (or N-methyl Glycine). It is a natural amino acid that you have already in your body. Sarcosine seems to be the only thing that has some good clinical research data showing that it can help people who have schizophrenia and who suffer from some negative symptoms (the cognitive/focus issues, lack of motivation, and negative mood/depression issues that are common with schizophrenia. We have a new summary of this research here that we encourage you to read: http://www.schizophrenia.com/glycinetreat.htm It is available from a number of online stores at different prices.

The short answer is most likely no though. Sarcosine is a biomarker for prostate cancer, but this does not mean that it causes cancer.

Oh for crying out loud read the sarcosine threads as this has been addressed in them multiple times!
