Another interesting test that may have great benefit to all PCa patients.

I spoke to Dan Baughman, the director of marketing, the test may be available by June.

The company will be presenting at the upcoming AUA meeting in San Diego in May.

I'm involved in a Clinical Trail at Sunnybrook in Toronto where they are doing a blood/urine study to see how they can do a correlation for PCa detection.

Hi Newton:
Which blood/urine tests are being used?
I am hoping that these type of tests will one day replace the invasive repeat biopsy in the patients participitating in the AS program.

Amen to that, brother. A couple of my biopsies hurt for months and tripled my psa. They are not harmless all the time. If I never have another one, I will be very happy. This is the type of research that we all should want to succeed.
