Abstract
It is critically important to the evolving goals of prostate biopsy to find clinically significant cancer with lethal potential and avoid detection of indolent disease. Better tests and markers are required for improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer and avoidance of biopsies in men with indolent disease. Currently, there are myriad alternative prostate cancer risk-assessment tests available derived from serum and urine that are designed to improve the specificity for detection of "significant" prostate cancer. Herein we discuss these tests and their clinical implications.
