I am asking since we mentioned it to our MO and he told us that it occasionally gives false positive and that PSA level would be the best marker post RP. : / We did not want to argue with him , so I hoped that there is way to order it without a doctor.

Thanks for fast reply : )

Early studies are showing that actually the PSA test, which only has about 50% accuracy, has more false positives, than the false positives that sometimes can occur with the PSE test.

Personally, I believe in checking as many sources as possible to find out answers as no Dr or Test seems to be 100% trustworthy.
