  1. Prostate cancer patient classification is determined according to NCCN guidelines version 1.2018; IQR, interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile)
  2. a The metastatic patients have not received radical prostatectomy and already present with advanced metastatic and progressive prostate cancer at time of blood draw
  3. b The controls are healthy and do not present prostate cancer
