Endogenous testosterone mirrors prostate cancer aggressiveness: correlation between basal testosterone serum levels and prostate cancer European Urology Association clinical risk classes in a large cohort of Caucasian patients

ConclusionsBasal TT levels are positively associated with low, intermediate and high EAU risk classes. The association is significant for the high-risk class when compared to the low-risk group, but was lost in locally advanced risk class. In PCA patients, high TT serum levels are associated with high-risk disease. Endogenous TT should be considered as a biological marker for assessing EAU PCA risk classes.
