Signatera DNA test

Posted by drax45 @drax45, Mar 16 12:00pm

My urologist has prescribed ongoing Signatera blood tests following my recent TULSA procedure.

From my online research Signatera seems to be fairly common in cases of breast and bladder cancer. Does anyone have experience with Signatera monitoring circulating DNA post treatment for PC?

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

I have never Heard of it, but there are other tests that just aren’t widely known

From the web
While Signatera is not specifically designed for prostate cancer, its ability to detect MRD and early recurrence makes it potentially useful in monitoring treatment response and detecting recurrence in prostate cancer patients

A test like the PSE test also looks for cancer in the blood and is designed specifically for prostate cancer.
