Figure 1

PCA3 intensity scores; tumor foci with no staining or <1 dot/cell at × 40 magnification were scored as zero; foci with 1–3 dots/cell in >5% of the tumor were scored as 1; tumor foci with 4–10 dots/cell with no or very few dot clusters (fused overlapping dots) in >5% of the tumor were scored as 2; tumor foci with >10 dots/cell with <10% of positive cells having dot clusters in >5% of the tumor were scored as 3; tumor foci with >10 dots/cell with >10% of positive cells have dot clusters in >5% of the tumor were scored as 4.
