Biopsy v non-Biopsy: Can you be diagnosed without a biopsy?

Man! I get what a biopsy is for! If you watch the video in other posts you will see that there are alternatives to biopsies. That is all I was asking. Mayo is using biomarkers in the urine to diagnose. Proteins spike when you have cancer. If low grade I can wait until I am 110 for the prostate removal. I am 62 today. I have had doctors want to biopsy, scoop out, stick needles and all the things.
I am pausing - looking around - asking questions - reading - watching videos. My life circumstances allow me to.
Thanks Phil.

@csbarry IF LOW GRADE…are you kidding me? What IF NOT LOW GRADE??
How can anyone ever know without a biopsy?? There isn’t a test in your best wet dream that can determine the grade or aggressiveness of PCa….only a biopsy can do that.
Well, I’ve said all I can in defense of proper diagnostic procedure; what you choose to do has been and always will be your decision. Best of luck to you,
Phil
