Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prostate health index (phi), a derivative of [-2]proPSA (p2PSA), has shown better accuracy than prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in prostate cancer (PCa) detection. The present study was to investigate whether previously identified PSA-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influence p2PSA or phi levels and lead to potential clinical utility. METHODS: We conducted an observational...
