[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 153015, member: 16042"] It is entirely catch 22 logic which appears designed to be advantageous for the insurance industry. Though in reality, accurate diagnosis up front should save the cost of multiple biopsies when TRUS misses the diagnosis and needs to be repeated, in some cases many times before cancer is found to warrant insurance coverage for MRI. Or perhaps by using a test (TRUS) with so many false negatives it helps to put off insurance having to pay for treatment first you must blindly fish for cancer with TRUS biopsy which has 25-35% error rate before we will cover you for imaging that can detect with a much higher degree of accuracy that would aid in targeting where to biopsy. It is obviously ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
