New Blood Test May help Predict Survival of Advanced Prostate Cancer

@mjp0512 from what I read from it, the advantage is that of a blood biopsy for metastatic patients (like me). It seems like a great tool to see what’s going on. PSMA scans are great but have limitations (type of cells it can see & size). I assume/hope Mayo is using this test or similar. Anyone know?

That's why I'm curious. This article is a year old. My GU Oncologist automatically went with somatic testing with my metastatic disease in June of last year. No mention of this study. Or could be as simple as he knew that insurance would cover somatic.
