Specialty Laboratories is pleased to offer a new test, the PCA3 ProfileR™, which quantifies the level of PCA3 mRNA in prostate cells collected in a urine sample and compares it to the level of PSA mRNA in the same sample to yield a PCA3 score.
#5500: PCA3 ProfileR™
This score is then used to calculate the probability that the next biopsy will be positive for prostate cancer.
This test aids in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men
who either have an elevated serum PSA after a negative prostate
biopsy or an elevated serum PSA before their first prostate
biopsy. The assay also helps determine the time interval of
follow-up biopsy for men who continue to have elevated serum
PSA.
