  1. Positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values for ProCUrE and age-adjusted PSA in the validation cohort separating benign vs PCa (A); clinically insignificant (benign and low-risk) vs clinically significant (intermediate- and high-risk) and low-risk vs clinically significant (intermediate- and high-risk) as determined by GS, CAPRA score, D’Amico criteria. (χ2 p values for these comparisons could be found in Fig. 3)
