Purpose of the Study
The study aimed to evaluate how well the Stockholm3 test predicts prostate cancer compared to other common tests and risk calculators.
Study Overview
This was a large trial conducted from 2019 to 2023, involving a diverse group of men who were eligible for prostate biopsy. A total of 2115 men participated, providing complete data for analysis.
Key Findings
Among the participants:
- The average age was 63 years.
- The average PSA level was 6.1 ng/mL.
- 20% had a previous negative biopsy.
- 17% underwent an MRI before the biopsy.
The results showed:
- 56.7% of biopsies were benign.
- 14.5% were Grade Group 1 cancers.
- 28.8% were Grade Group ≥ 2 cancers.
The Stockholm3 test performed significantly better than other tests, with a higher accuracy rate for detecting serious cancers.
Benefits of Stockholm3
Using Stockholm3 could lead to a 44% reduction in unnecessary biopsies while still detecting 95% of significant cancers.
Conclusions
The Stockholm3 test is more effective than other commonly used tests for identifying serious prostate cancer in a diverse population.
