[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 149119, member: 16042"] Blind and TRUS biopsy misses over 90% of the prostate but level of error is generally considered to be around 25% inaccurate in terms of false negative. Also, there is still controversy over what stage of cell change/mutation qualifies as cancer, maybe cancer or maybe kinda sorta cancer, but classified as abnormal but not cancerous cells. SelectMDX claims 98% negative predictability accuracy. With positive results it gives some differentiation of indolent vs aggressive. I am a member of the high PSA club as well. I chose SelectMDX with PSA 9.3, and it came back negative, so still watching... If I am pushed to a next step, my choice would be 3T MP MRI and if subsequent biopsy The MRI imaging provides an overlay for fusion biopsy which is much better targeted than a 12 needle TRUS. The next better level would biopsy under active MRI monitoring. It depends on what the initial MRI would find. [/QUOTE]
