Overview
Brief Summary
The principal aim of this pilot study is to test whether the PSA Glycomics Assay on urine and serum samples can provide insights regarding the disease state of patients with elevated PSA concentrations, as well as to accurately identify if the patient has prostate cancer and, in the case of prostate cancer, to determine its level of aggressiveness.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients with elevated PSA (\>3 ng/mL)
- •Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients that have a cystitis (bladder infection)
- •Patients under chemotherapy
- •Patients using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
- •History or presence of cancers, or non-prostate urological disorders.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
PSA Glycomics Assay
Time Frame: 1 year
The relative abundance of glycoforms of PSA in plasma and urine from the subjects will be measured. These will be related to the stage of PCa and compared to non-prostate cancer patients.
