Clinical relevance of urinary 8‑hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels in patients undergoing prostate biopsy.

ABSTRACT: Urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level is an oxidative stress marker in patients with cancer; however, little is currently known about the clinical relevance of urinary 8-OHdG levels in patients with prostate cancer at diagnosis. Voided urine samples were collected from patients at the time of prostate biopsy and stored at -80˚C after centrifugation. All of the patients were classified according to histology of the biopsy. Once the patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer, the standard of care and treatments were administered according to the standard guidelines. The association between clinicopathological parameters and urinary 8-OHdG and N-terminal telopeptide (NTx) levels were explored. A total of 409 patients received prostate biopsy, of which 190 were benign, 41 were diagn
