   PCA3 has been shown to be useful to predict the presence of malignancy in men undergoing repeat prostate biopsy. [9] [10] This means that it could be useful clinically for a patient for whom digital rectal examination and PSA suggest possible prostate cancer, but the first prostate biopsy returns a normal result. This occurs in approximately 60 ...

   Prostate cancer antigen 3 is a urine test that detects the overexpression of the PCA3 gene, an indicator of prostate cancer. [32] [46] [47] [44] ConfirmMDx is performed on tissue taken during a prostate biopsy. The test identifies men with clinically significant prostate cancer who would benefit from further testing and treatment.

   For instance, The prostate cancer antigen 3 (PCA3) gene is a highly specific biomarker upregulated in prostate cancer. Because there is no extensive open reading frame, the gene is thought to express a non-coding RNA. [31] The FDA-approved PCA3 test measures the PCA3 mRNA level normalized to PSA mRNA level in a urine sample.
