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:
