Utility of a Fifth-Generation Ultrasensitive Prostate-Specific Antigen Assay for Monitoring Prostate Cancer Patients after Radical Prostatectomy with 3 Years of Follow-Up.

We investigated an ultrasensitive prostate-specific antigen (uPSA) immunoassay (MesoScale; lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.0035 pg/mL) to monitor patients with prostate cancer (PCa) following radical prostatectomy (RP) and to examine whether changes in PSA in the conventionally undetectable range (<1 pg/mL) can predict biochemical relapse (BCR).
