| Clinical significance: |
Part of a 5-circRNA urine extracellular vesicle classifier (Ccirc) that improves prediction of ≥GG2 prostate cancer at initial biopsy compared with standard risk calculators. |
| Description: |
circPDLIM5 is elevated in urine extracellular vesicles from patients with high-grade (≥GG2) prostate cancer and is one of five circRNAs used to construct the Ccirc classifier. Its measured level contributes to noninvasive detection and risk prediction of clinically significant PCa at initial biopsy. |
