The BBC is running this story today about a new DNA test that is able to see if a guy is more likely to have the deadlier type of PCa
See:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26274475

A clear way to help prevent unnecessary overtreatment.

thanks alf, being able to spot the aggressive variants would be a huge step in curbing true over treatment, or even undertreatment in some cases.
