The 4Kscore test measures four proteins in the blood to (total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 [hK2]) assess whether a significant prostate cancer would be found if a biopsy were performed. The test helps doctors minimize unnecessary prostate biopsies. Results of clinical st...
“PSA density” has actually decreased slightly. I offered to send this new comparison information to the local urology clinic, but never heard back, of course. The urologist at the NIH was willing to have me travel there for another evaluation, MRI and possibly another biopsy. After the ...
Percentage of positive cores involved on a systemic prostate biopsy has been established as a risk factor for adverse oncologic outcomes and is a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) independent parameter for unfavorable intermediate-risk di
Combination tests.Newly developed tests combine the measurements that you get from different PSA tests. If your total PSA is 4-10 nanograms per milliliter, your doctor may use the results of these tests to help them decide if you need a biopsy, or another biopsy if you already had one. ...
PSA Tests Under The Cosh Again Sloan-Kettering have completed a 4-year study involving 1000 men with an average age of 62. More than 20 per cent had PSA readings high enough to prompt a biopsy. However in the follow up reading half had their PSA levels return to normal. The recommendatio...
