Popis: OBJECTIVES: • To investigate whether cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP-3) and/or β-microseminoprotein (β-MSP) expression in diagnostic prostate needle biopsies have predictive value for prostate cancer (PC) on radical prostatecomy (RP). • To evaluate their potential clinical implementation in a preoperative setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: • In total, 174 participants from the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer, Rotterdam section, treated by RP for PC were included in the present study. • CRISP-3 and β-MSP immunohistochemistry was performed on corresponding diagnostic needle biopsies. • Outcome was correlated with clinicopathological parameters (prostate-specific-antigen, PSA; number of positive biopsies; Gleason score, GS; pT-stage; surgical margins at RP) and significant PC at RP (pT3/4, or GS > 6, or tumour volume ≥0.5 mL) in the total cohort (n= 174) and in a subgroup with low-risk features at biopsy (PSA ≤ 10 ng/ml, cT ≤ 2, PSA density
