Chronic prostatitis does not influence urinary PCA3 score.

Abstract

In this study, NIH II and III chronic prostatitis did not influence the PCA3 score.

Our results suggest that increased PCA3 score is unlikely to be explained by the sole chronic prostatitis and warrants prostate biopsies to eliminate prostate cancer.
