This keeps bouncing around. No proof in either direction, no studies except one that showed benefit in lowering PSA and a second that suggested that it might instead be an effect in the test itself . You have cited the references and you have to decide for yourself. I decided in favor of POMI-T and I stop my dosing a week before I re-test. There is zero science in the one week choice. As she said: "ya pays ya' money and ya' takes ya' chance."
