Hi everyone. My PCA3 test was 232!! I had a biopsy a few days ago. Still waiting for the results.
Has anyone heard of a PCA3 of 232 resulting in a negative biopsy? My last biopsy was 16 months ago and it was negative.
Thanks!

Something sounds funny with that number. Pca3 score is a percentage, of PCa RNA to "normal" RNA. Maybe your number is 23.2? If less than 25, unlikely to be positive box.
