If you have prostate cancer, it is circulating in your blood. Obviously they are looking there and have the right techniques to find it. Sounds like a good test for those on active surveillance.

My PSA yesterday was < .O1. This January I ll be at the two year mark on ADT. Oct 31st, I ll ask the MO if I can cut the ADT dose in half. FYI only.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, the EpiSwitch PSE test analyses immune cells in the blood that have been at interplay with prostate cancer (or not). This actually makes the test more sensitive, requires less blood sample, and doesn't require a large tumor to shed cancer into the blood. We can detect the cancer by analyzing alterations in these cells. But for the most part, spot on!
