Hi all,

Had a follow up visit yesterday with my Urologist. PSA had risen slightly and the DRE was normal. I had a lengthy discussion with my Dr. this being the first visit since my biopsy. She recommended we continue on Active Surveillance but informed me of a new test of the pathology cells from the last biopsy.

I hope this new information is welcome by all.

Cheers,

Chris

Prolaris, Oncotype Dx, and Decipher are genomic tests used to help decide whether AS is appropriate when biopsy results are equivocal.
