Ozzie51:
Thanks for this link! I read the interview and it sounds like the IsoPSA test is a significant improvement over the standard PSA test for predicting one’s risk of harboring Gleason 7 and higher PCa.

FTA:
“So, if you have an IsoPSA below the cutoff…Less than 6, you have a 92% chance of not having a high grade cancer.

Let me say that again, a 92% chance of not having high grade prostate cancer. You might have low grade cancer, but we don't care about that. And if your IsoPSA is above 6, then you have about a 50% chance of having a high grade cancer. Not just any cancer, but a high grade cancer.

I think most urologists and probably most patients would recommend, and be willing to have a biopsy for a 50% risk of high grade cancer.”

For those who would rather watch a video, than read an interview, go here:
