Aims
Primary Aim: Evaluation of an existing, urine-based molecular assay to predict progression, need for definitive therapy, or recurrence for men on active surveillance for PCa. By identifying molecular metabolites in post-DRE urine of men on active surveillance in Canary PASS that are specific for aggressive disease, we will 1) evaluate the discriminative ability of our existing MPS assay for prediction of progression (GG≥3 on re-biopsy or pathology) 2) need for definitive treatment 3) or recurrence after treatment. Exploratory Aim: Development of a novel, urine-based molecular assay to predict progression, need for definitive therapy, or recurrence for men on active surveillance for PCa. By identifying molecular metabolites in post-DRE urine of men on active surveillance in Canary PASS, we will 1) assess for opportunities for improving the existing assay and/or 2) perform de novo creation of a novel biomarker to predict progression or recurrence.
