Our finding that the combination of low MT/C ratios and PAS levels in excess of 10 ng/ml conferred the highest tendency that a person may have prostate cancer and advanced-stage disease prostate cancer suggests that we might consider the biomarker of MT/C ratio in urine to be an additional tool for judging whether the prostate biopsy is needed or not, when PSA levels are elevated. This evidence concerns the gene KLK3 and prostate carcinoma.
