In this small set of mixed patients uPCA3 alone and tPSA performed equally well as diagnostic markers for PCa. A combination of the two markers did not improve the diagnostic performance. This study does not support a role for the uPCA3 urine test to replace or be added to tPSA in PCa detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
