A five‐microRNA model (pCaP) for predicting prostate cancer aggressiveness using cell‐free urine
Improved biomarkers for prostate cancer (PC) risk stratification are urgently needed. Here, we aimed to develop a novel multimarker model for prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after curatively intended radical prostatectomy (RP), based on minimally invasive sampling of blood and urine.

Summary: | Improved biomarkers for prostate cancer (PC) risk stratification are urgently needed. Here, we aimed to develop a novel multimarker model for prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after curatively intended radical prostatectomy (RP), based on minimally invasive sampling of blood and urine. We initially measured the levels of 45 selected miRNAs by RT‐qPCR in exosome enriched cell‐free urine samples collected prior to RP from 215 PC patients (Cohort 1, training). We trained a novel logistic regression model (pCaP), comprising five urine miRNAs (miR‐151a‐5p, miR‐204‐5p, miR‐222‐3p, miR‐23b‐3p and miR‐331‐3p) and serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), which significantly predicted time to BCR in Cohort 1 (univariate Cox regression analysis: HR = 3.12, p |
