No, it is not employing LC, MS/MS technology, but it is a step. The sensitive test is not available for those of us in Canada. I travel to the States and utilize discountedlabs.com on a regular basis. If that is. It an option for you, you and your doctor have to carefully monitor symptoms and match team to the test results you have access to.
The sensitive estradiol test is NOT available at St. Michael's Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, or Sunnybrook Hosptial in Toronto. My doctor made a thorough canvas of the hospitals in the GTA, I mention those, the three most prominent and associated with the University of Toronto's medical faculty, as they seemed to be the most likely. The initial doctor I consulted, a faculty member at the University of Toronto, had never heard of the sensitive assay. The associate laboratory director at St. Michael's told her that the demand simply wasn't there for them to run the test. That's what "free" health care buys all of us in Canada.
