ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Observational Patients undergo urine and blood sample collection, provide family history of cancer and have their medical records reviewed throughout the study. Patients also undergo a digital rectal examination, complete a questionnaire and receive results of the PSA blood test and urine biomarker test. Patients with an elevated PSA level above 2.0 ng/ml (age 40-49) or 2.5 ng/ml (age 50-70) or abnormal urine test will be referred for an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate gland.
