Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Early detection of prostate cancer can increase the curative success rate for prostate cancer. We studied the diagnostic usefulness of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion transcripts as well as the combination of prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) RNA and TMPRSS2-ERG fusion transcripts in urinary sediments after digital rectal examination (DRE). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A total of 78 men with prostate cancer-positive biopsies...
