Abstract

Serum samples from 226 primary patients with prostate cancer (PC) and a baseline total prostate-specific antigen (t-PSA) of < 30.0 ng/ml were used to investigate f-PSA and [-2]proPSA levels and to calculate f-PSA%, [-2]proPSA%, and prostate health index (PHI). The findings were compared with cancer stage (pTNM) and Gleason grade (Gleason index) in accordance with a postoperative histological report. PHI was shown to have the best differentiating properties (pT2c/pT3a/pT3b; localized indolent PC / localized aggressive PC / locally advanced PC / PC with regional metastases; Gleason score 5-6 / Gleason score 7 (3+4) / Gleason score 7 (4+3).
