Abstract
The Prostate Health Index is a Food and Drug Administration-approved blood test combining total, free, and [-2]pro prostate-specific antigen with greater specificity than free and total prostate-specific antigen for clinically significant prostate cancer. This article reviews the evidence on the performance of the Prostate Health Index to predict prostate biopsy outcome, its incorporation into multivariable risk-assessment tools, and its ability to predict prognosis after conservative management or prostate cancer treatment.Entities:
