Specimen Required
Patient Preparation:
1. Specimens for testing should be collected prior to prostate manipulations such as digital rectal examination, prostatic massage, transrectal ultrasound, 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 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.
Secondary ID
113000Useful 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

Testing Algorithm
This test begins with the analysis of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If the PSA concentration is between 2.0 and 10.0 ng/mL, then the reflex test will be performed at an additional charge.
If the initial PSA concentration is between 2.0 and 10.0 ng/mL, then free PSA and [-2]pro-PSA isoform results will be reported.
If the initial PSA concentration is between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL, then the percent free PSA result and prostate health index (phi) will be calculated and reported.
If the initial PSA concentration is between 2.0 and 4.0 ng/mL, then the percent free PSA result and prostate health index (phi) will not be calculated or reported.
