Just need to give people a heads-up. Because my husband has a weak stream and a 3+4 tumour in the right medial apex, we were worried that radiation could convert his existing weak stream into no-stream-at-all.
So we ordered both Prostox Ultra (SBRT) and Prostox Standard (CFRT) tests. Only 1%–2% of patients are found to be high risk of toxicity from both SBRT and CFRT/MHFRT. He scored "HIGH RISK" on both! Radiation was out!
Pic 1 👇 shows what our January 15, 2026 Prostox report looked like. It had just two risk categories. Either "LOW RISK" or "HIGH RISK".
I checked today and UCLA/Prostox has now changed their "Interpreting PROSTOX Results" report page to "LOW-AVERAGE RISK" or "HIGH RISK"!

From "LOW RISK" Jan 2026 to "LOW-AVERAGE RISK" now...
I wonder if page 2 of their current results report still includes:
"Limitations: Results do not predict a patient’s likelihood of clinical response, short-term side effects, or non-urinary side effects from SBRT or CFRT. A low-risk result does not rule out any possibility that the patient will experience toxicity, and a high-risk result does not guarantee that the patient will develop toxicity. Results should only be used as part of the
consideration of treatment choice."

IS WRONG! And I don't know how to delete it.
Only today (April 29th) did I realize that Prostox results were NOT changed from a gradation that included "AVERAGE" to the binary "High" vs "Low" risks.
I had not noticed the date being *2022* and not 2026. Anyway, I was careless and wrong!
