Biopsy or not?

Hey all, my Urologist gave me some kind of urine test to detect possible cancer before they do a biopsy. I’ve opted for biopsy. I have a single lesion on the transection of the prostate 1.1cm. It’s rated PiRad 3. My PSA is still 2.3, and only minor symptoms. I don’t even get up at night to urinate unless I drink water before bed. My kidney function is great btw. Typically good stream when urinating. I have chronic prostitis and BPH. I’ve requested the new biopsy method you all recommended. I’m hoping this is an early warning and get ahead of this thing.

@monteshark
I have not heard of a urine test for prostate cancer. Is this new? Do you have anymore information on it.

Personally I would have made same decsions on this as you did.

Good luck.

How did you know you had chronic prostatitis?
