The first urine RNA test for prostate cancer approved in the United States; its approval has since been withdrawn, though Medicare still lists it.
The FDA approved the Progensa PCA3 Assay (PMA P100033, Gen-Probe) on 13 February 2012 to measure PCA3 and PSA RNA in post-examination first-catch urine; the FDA database records a withdrawal date of 12 April 2023. Palmetto MolDX billing article A58700 still lists the Progensa PCA3 assay (CPT 81313) after a negative biopsy.
Nucleic acid amplification measures PCA3 and PSA RNA in first-catch urine collected after a digital rectal examination and reports their ratio.
