Abstract
Our prospective multicenter study suggests that the novel biomarker iXip may be used with a 20% cut-off value in order to reduce the proportion of prostate biopsies by approximately 5%, without missing a single case of cancer. Moreover, higher iXip values are significantly correlated with tumor aggressiveness.
