Evaluation of the <i>ETS</i>-Related Gene mRNA in Urine for the Detection of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

A higher urine ERG score in post-DRE urine is associated with the diagnosis of prostate cancer on biopsy. Urine ERG score performed particularly well in men with a PSA of <or=4.0 ng/mL, a segment of the screening population in which further diagnostic markers are needed to determine in whom biopsy should be done.
