Prostox test: helpful?

Posted by quaddick @quaddick, Sep 27, 2025

Has anyone had this, and if so, was it helpful in making your treatment decision? Also how did you pay for it? I understand that it's not covered by Medicare. I'm leaning towards radiation for my prostate cancer, but according to many videos on the PCRI you tube channel, a small percentage of men have very severe and permanent chronic symptoms from radiation and Prostox can identify those men by genetics.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

@surftohealth88 We ordered both PROSTOX Ultra (SBRT) and Standard (IMRT). From receiving actual test to getting our results 11 days.

We scored "High Risk" for both so radiation was out.

Cheers.

Thanks so much for the info 💗 and I am so sorry to hear that he is "high risk" for both SBRT and IMRT : ((((. I would not be surprised if it turns out to be the same case for my husband too. We are still waiting for results, it's been about a week, I think, since we sent it.
