Um so Prostox is only reporting on Urinary problems post radiation - not anything else, like lower GI tract issues?

@klein505 That is correct no claims are made for predicting GI effects. Logically there should be a lot of correlation between the GU and GI risk since the test covers genetic risk from DNA repair, response to stress and inflammation. GI risk is probably not as predictable since it is also related to radiation being off target and the use of spacer gel.
