Prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) is a urinary biomarker for prostate cancer and has demonstrated a good specificity and sensitivity representing a minimally invasive test.PCA3 assay could be useful in combination with PSA to suggest an eventual rebiopsy in men who have had one or more previous negative prostate biopsies.Combination of multiple tumor biomarkers will be the trend in the near future to achieve the goal of evaluate the aggressiveness of cancer and at the same time reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies.
前列腺癌抗原 3(PCA3)是一种用于前列腺癌的尿生物标志物,其具有良好的特异性和敏感性,是一种微创检测。在已经进行过一次或多次先前阴性前列腺活检的男性中,PCA3 检测与 PSA 联合使用有助于提示是否需要再次进行活检。未来,联合使用多种肿瘤生物标志物将成为一种趋势,以实现评估癌症侵袭性的目标,同时减少不必要的活检数量。
