2 Fig. 1 The higher the PCA3 score, the greater the probability of a positive repeat prostate biopsy. Abbreviation: PCA3, Prostate CAncer gene 3. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2008 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 The diagnostic accuracy of the PCA3 assay is independent of the number of previous negative biopsies. Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; ROC, receiver operating characteristics.

4 Fig. 3 (a) Serum total PSA level is dependent on prostate volume, whereas (b) the PCA3 score is independent of prostate volume. Median PCA3 scores: 24.4, 24.0, and 23.0 for prostate volumes <30ml, 30–50ml, and >50ml, respectively. Bars represent mean±95% CI. Abbreviations: PSA, prostate-specific antigen; PCA3, Prostate CAncer gene 3; CI, confidence interval.
