BACKGROUND The PCA3 urinary assay has shown promise in predicting the presence of prostate cancer. We evaluated the value of this test in patients undergoing initial and repeat prostate biopsy.METHODS PCA3 and PSA levels were obtained from 456 men with no known personal history of prostate cancer prior to prostate biopsy. Two hundred eighty-nine men underwent an initial prostate biopsy and 167 underwent a repeat prostate biopsy. PCA3 and PSA levels were compared to the prostate biopsy results.RESULTS PCA3 score was shown to be independent of prostate volume (P?=?0.162) and PSA level (P?=?0.959). PCA3 scores were significantly higher in patients with cancer on prostate biopsy compared to patients with negative biopsy results (P?
