Test ID P2PHI [-2]Pro Prostate-Specific Antigen with Prostate Health Index, Serum


Specimen Required


Patient Preparation:

1. Specimens for testing should be collected prior to prostate manipulations such as digital rectal examination (DRE), prostatic massage, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), and prostatic biopsy.

2. A 6-week waiting period between needle biopsy and specimen collection is recommended.

3. Specimens should not be collected from patients receiving therapy with high biotin (vitamin B7) doses (ie, >5 mg/day) until at least 8 hours following the last biotin administration.

Collection Container/Tube: Red top (serum gel/SST are not acceptable)

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic vial

Specimen Volume: 1 mL

Collection Instructions: Within 3 hours of collection, centrifuge, aliquot serum into a plastic vial, and refrigerate. Freeze sample within 24 hours of collection and send frozen.


Useful For

As an aid in distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic conditions in men aged 50 years and older with total PSA between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL and digital rectal examination findings that are not suspicious for cancer.

Highlights

Prostate health index (phi) may be used to determine the probability of prostate cancer on biopsy in men with total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the 4.0 to 10.0 ng/mL range.

 

This test will generate results for PSA, free PSA and [-2]ProPSA regardless of PSA concentration.

 

Percent free PSA and phi calculations will only be reported when the initial PSA value is between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL.
