Has anyone had a PSE test? Sounds to be a great advancement.

The EpiSwitch® PSE (Prostate-Specific EpiSwitch) is a highly accurate blood test that detects prostate cancer by combining a standard PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test with five epigenetic immune cell biomarkers. It boasts 94% accuracy, helping to identify cancer early and avoid unnecessary biopsies.

After recently having had a biopsy, had I known about this, would have made enquiries rather. Apparently not cheap, but then neither is a biopsy.

no no no no no no no no

I promise I'll be gentle!

Yes it is but I think it must be relatively new. Just a few years ago it was standard to get fingered but now its not.


For a colonoscopy ? no.

I just had mine the other day and I'll be glad to not do that for another 5-10 years.

Focus now, the colonoscopy thread is that way <-----

I had it. I did a bunch of other tests at the same time. Cholesterol, kidney function, blood sugar etc
I pissed in a jar at the same time.

I'll have to check the bill but i really don't think it was expensive.

Hope the results come back good!

They were fine thanks ... just the usual moan about cholesterol - which I do need to monitor.

The fat is the symptom, not the cause. Sugar is more likely to give you cholestrol than fat. You'll probably find that you have a fatty liver caused by sugar, which then causes the fat buildup in your arteries...

1. Is the PSA blood test not sufficient for this? Because i'm not having anyone stick anything anywhere and..
2. Is a scan such as Xray, MRI etc not sufficient for this? Because i'm not having anyone stick anything anywhere...

Been doing the PSA for about 4/5 years annually now. I asked similar earlier in the thread, I think its pretty much like any other test, if it trips or starts odd results, you go for the invasive, otherwise its normally fine I think

2c, not a doc.
