What is the 4K test for prostate cancer

WEBThe 4Kscore Test, commonly called the 4K test, is a blood test that measures the level of four prostate-specific biomarkers (Total PSA, Free PSA, Intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 [hK2]) and your clinical information. The 4Kscore® Test result assesses your probability of aggressive prostate cancer if a biopsy were performed and has been shown

What is a prostate health index test

WEBThe Prostate Health Index (phi) is a test that utilizes the combination of three blood tests to produce a "phi score". The test was designed for men who have a PSA between 4 and 10 ng/ml. Research has shown that phi provides more accurate information than PSA alone at determining which individuals may need a prostate biopsy and which

Prostate Cancer Screening Guidelines

WEBVarious health organizations recommend differing PSA cut-offs, leading to much of the confusion around PSA testing. Based on a study* reviewing the Henry Ford database for 22,000 men, including 30% African Americans, we found that men with a PSA below 1.5% had a .51% of developing a significant prostate cancer within 5 years.

Genomic Prostate Score Results

WEBThe score is complied by determining which of these genes or combinations of genes are active, and which are inactive and this is compared to your NCCN Risk. The score ranges from 0-100 (with scores closer to zero representing lower risk prostate cancer disease potential and those closer to 100 representing higher risk prostate cancer disease

What does the ExoDx prostate cancer test measure

WEBThe ExosomeDx test, commonly called the ExoDx test, is used in addition to the PSA test and other standard of care data points (including age, race, and family history) to help healthcare providers determine if an initial biopsy is necessary or if the patient can continue to be monitored. The ExoDx test specifically helps determine if a patient

phi Test for Healthcare Providers

WEBThe Prostate Health Index (phi) test is an FDA-approved that combines scores from three blood tests (PSA, PSA Free, and p2PSA) to create a phi score. The phi score provides more information about what elevated PSA levels might mean and the probability of finding prostate cancer on biopsy. It’s a powerful test in differentiating between

Select MDx test for prostate

WEBFor patients with this result, it has been shown, based on research, that there is a 98% (for Gleason Score prostate cancer greater than or equal to 7) and 99.6% (for Gleason Score prostate cancer greater than or equal to 8) chance that the patient is truly negative. These values are also known as the Negative Predictive Value (NPV).
