Anyone had IsoPSA testing?

Seriously, I know I am going to count on this group for plenty of things, so thought I would introduce myself - Steve, hi.

I am early in the PCa process. One of the diagnostic tests I had done was an IsoPSA (8.0). I don't see much chatter about that here, and I am wondering if it is because it is new, or it is not accepted as a standard test. Any thoughts?

With that high an ISOPSA, you should be able to light up a PSMA PET scan because something is causing that number. Your result is high, IsoPSA >10 is associated with a sevenfold higher risk of csPCa (clinically significant prostate cancer).

You could do a PSMA Pet test before a biopsy just to see if there’s cancer somewhere else.

Would be interesting to see your actual PSA.

My isoPSA was 13 and my PSMA did not light up like a christmas tree. There was some visible uptake but the report noted that it was not “abnormal”.
