PSE is also a very promising biomarker test. IMHO, based on my research, it receives a silver medal to the MPS2’s gold medal….at least at this point…

Never had the “free” PSA test.

Remember my urologist comment and my broadening (based on my erroneous initial biopsy result and 1300 hours of research):

ALL PCa tests are “notoriously inaccurate”…the most important thing (AGAIN ONLY FOR THOSE DIAGNOSED WITH LOW RISK PROSTATE CANCER ON AS) is the TREND…in other words I put no stock in one “free” PSA result, mpMRI result or even a biopsy result….but what is the TREND of multiple tests indicating?

For my husband there was no "classical" trend, his PSA went up and down, Free PSA was in normal range, PSA was in normal range, the first genetic test showed "low risk in 30 years". His PSA overall did go up in 15 years of surveillance but there were no jumps , it went up and down and somewhat up which was consistent with the aging and prostate growth in size. The only indicator for a new biopsy was that no biopsy was not done in 7 years, and new small lesion appeared in the left part of a prostate. And yes, second biopsy was not correct , he was not 4+3 but actually 4+5 after his gland was examined post RP.
