Brief Summary: The objective of this multi-center clinical study is to determine the association of the PCA3 Score with prostate biopsy outcome and validate the assays performance characteristics in men with previous negative prostate biopsies An elevated PCA3 Score is thought to be associated with an increased likelihood of positive biopsy The results of this study are intended to be used for regulatory filings for use as an in vitro diagnostic test
Detailed Description: PCA3 is a gene that is highly over-expressed in more than 90 of prostate cancers and that can be quantified in urine specimens following a digital rectal examination Studies have shown that because PCA3 is highly specific for prostate cancer it predicts the results of repeat biopsies more accurately than traditional prostate-specific antigen PSA testing Gen-Probes PROGENSAR PCA3 assay is the first urine-based molecular diagnostic assay for prostate cancer
