BACKGROUND: Detection of fusion gene TMPRSS2:ERG transcripts in urine have been recently described in order to refine urine-based detection of prostate cancer (PCa), but data its clinical impact remain scarce. We aimed at investigating the correlation of TMPRSS2:ERG, prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3), prostate specific antigen (PSA) density, genetic variants, and androgenic status with outcome and pathological...
