This study investigates the prognostic value of dynamic changes in PCA3 mRNA levels found in the abdominal cavity drainage fluid after radical prostatectomy. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment. While PSA levels in the blood are commonly used as a marker for diagnosis, this study focuses on the significance of PCA3 mRNA levels in the prognosis of prostate cancer. The findings may provide insights into improved post-surgical monitoring and more tailored therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer patients.
