A member asked:

I recently read about opko's 4k score prostate test which is approved for use in the u.k. seems very promising and could eliminate a lot of biopsys.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Public policy: The impact of widespread screening by bloodwork and aggressive treatment of prostate cancer has had little effect on overall mortality. But it will be difficult to change this in an era in which practice is driven largely by fears of malpractice for missing a cancer "that showed up on blood work." glad you're reading, and thanks.
