nice find!

if this is true it's very exciting. some doctors are already using the test!

One of the moderators over on the Healingwell board is going to meet (hopefully) with an Abbott Labs rep. That company holds a license to do the tests.. If he learns anything useful, I'll post it back here..

New Early Detection Test.. At the treatment center in Denver (TUCC) where I am being treated for PC, I have been asked to participate in an investigational study for a new and promising method to detect PC very early, perhaps without the need for a biopsy, or at least to eliminate unnecessary biopsies based on elevated PSA readings alone.

The test is called " Four Gene Signature Test" and it is done with a simple urine sample. The test is used in conjunction with a PSA test to determine if the elevated reading is caused by cancer or something else, the idea being to reduce the number of negative result biopsies...The company doing the research is called Health Discovery Corp. You can find more information on their web-site..

and another poster replied:

My urologist did that test when I first went in for my initial visit by the end a biopsy was scheduled.
