The Prostate CAncer gene 3 (PCA3 or DD3) is a promising urinary, gene-based, prostate cancer biomarker. This specific non-coding mRNA sequence is highly over expressed in more than 95% of primary prostate tumors. The feasibility of a PCA3 gene-based molecular assay for the detection of ...
PCA3: This is a urine test that accurately detects the risk of prostate cancer by examining the expression of the PCA3 gene, a gene-specific to prostate cancer. 4KScore: Another blood test measures total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and certain enzymes called kallikrein. A special computer-bas...
In addition to relying on the power of exosomes to provide information otherwise found only through a tissue biopsy, The ExoDx Prostate Test is unique in the following ways: Excludes PSA from the analytic algorithm Targets prostate cancer-specific biomarkers (ERG, PCA3 and SPDEF) Does not require...
It states that a PSA test is uncertain, wherein only a prostate biopsy can confirm the present of cancer but it is a procedure with several after effects and risks, such as short-term rectal bleeding and difficulty in urinating. Some doctors use the Prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) test ...
