CYPATH MORE ACCURATE THAN PSA!!

http://www.healthcentral.com/prostate/psa-249759-5.html

Total PSA is an extremely sensitive test (if the PSA is higher than 4), however more sensitive tests result in more false positives. Lowering the PSA cut-off to less than 4 will increase the sensitivity but decrease the specificity. A sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 33%, and positive predictive value of 41% have been identified for PSA levels higher than 4.0.
