Popis: Purpose: New biomarkers for prostate cancer are needed. We determined whether a novel serum marker, total PSP94 can be used to accomplish these goals.Materials and Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 1,212 men with no previous history of prostate cancer and who underwent a prostate biopsy from 1998 to 2000 because of an increased PSA or an abnormal DRE. Serum PSP94 levels were assessed using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Cases were patients with prostate cancer, and controls were patients who had no evidence of cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether or not PSP94 levels improved the predictive value for prostate cancer.Results: Of the 1,212 men 596 (49.2%) had cancer detected. The median PSP94 level was significantly lower among cases (2.60 ng/ml) than among controls (3.40 ng/ml, p
