"This new test looks for six antibodies that the body creates to fight cancer plus the PSA, so it's much more accurate." The next step is to create specific tests more sensitive to high risk ...

But questions about the accuracy of the PSA test have been building over the years. It has a high level of false positives and misses about 15 percent of prostate cancers.

The test becomes even more accurate when its results are analyzed with a mathematical formula that provides an overall Prostate Health Index. (The formula divides the Pro-PSA number by the free-PSA.

We're giving a medication instead of sugar, and looking to see what happens to a blood test result, and becoming much more accurate in our predictions.” March 28, 2011|UpdatedMarch 29, 2011 12: ...

A new blood test developed by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) can detect prostate cancer with 94% accuracy. No single test for prostate cancer Prostate cancer affects approximately ...

How to Prepare for the Test The PSA test is meant to check for prostate cancer by measuring the prostate-­specific antigen (PSA), a protein often elevated in men with prostate cancer.

The test becomes even more accurate when its results are analyzed with a mathematical formula that provides an overall Prostate Health Index. (The formula divides the Pro-PSA number by the free-PSA.

Aside from skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. The Iso-PSA test kit is in the process of getting F-D-A approval. For more information on the test, click here.

A new blood test has achieved far better accuracy – giving positive results which are 93 per cent accurate when tested on 147 men. When the same men were given the standard PSA test, their ...

Conventional PSA tests aren't sensitive enough to show if men are cured after having a cancerous prostate gland removed. New research shows an ultrasensitive PSA test using nanoparticle-based ...

How to Prepare for the Test The PSA test is meant to check for prostate cancer by measuring the prostate-­specific antigen (PSA), a protein often elevated in men with prostate cancer.

The PSA test can help diagnose the cancer early, but the number of false positives is high, leading to unnecessary biopsies in about 75% of cases. This means the specificity is low.
