New Prostate Cancer Test Strives To Slash Biopsies, Cleveland Diagnostics Reveals

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men after skin cancer, with almost 190,000 new cases in the US expected for 2016 and about 26,000 deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. 


Prostate cancer can often be detected before symptoms arise by testing the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) — a substance made by cells in the prostate gland — in the blood. A high level of PSA could be 
indicative of cancer and if a blood test finds this, the patient will most often be sent for a biopsy.
