Comparing the Reliability of Expressed Prostatic Secretion (EPS) and Post Massage Urine (PMU) for the Prediction of Prostate Cancer Biopsy Outcome

Conditions: Conditions Influencing Health Status, Healthy, Prostate Cancer

Sex: Male
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 243
Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center

Location: Chinn & Chinn Urology Associates, Inc. Arcadia California

Summary

This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the best way, either expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) or post massage urine (PMU) biomarkers, of predicting biopsy results in patients undergoing prostate biopsy. Studying samples of urine in the laboratory may help doctors detect prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether EPS or PMU biomarkers are more effective in predicting prostate biopsy results

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * All men who will be undergoing transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUSP) with biopsy in the department of Urology or participating urology clinics for the evaluation of prostate cancer Exclusion Criteria: * Men with a previous diagnosis of prostate cancer * Men without a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer but who have previously undergone a biopsy for a suspicious DRE or PSA * Men with a prior diagnosis of cancer \< 5 years ago, excluding basal cell carcinoma and/or squamous cell carcinoma
