[-2]proPSA for predicting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer earlier than total PSA after radical prostatectomy: an observational prospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: The current findings showed that p2PSA might be more sensitive than tPSA in detecting earlier BCR within 3-year follow-up. Further studies with a longer follow- up and larger population remain mandatory before considering p2PSA for clinical decision- making. PMID: 30700081 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
