RE: Is it PSE?19 Nov 2023 15:10
We need OBD to communicate if they are involved in this or not.
I emailed Prostate Cancer uk about 6 weeks ago for their comments on PSE and I have posted part of their reply below.
It would be a disgrace if we were not involved in this.
I am heavily invested here and about to up my stake big time but will hold back until clarification.

REPLY AS FOLLOWS.
However, while results are promising we believe more research is required to assess test's applicability to men with family history, men of different ages and men of different ethnicities. As with other similar 'additional' tests, PSE test results are not linked to long-term outcome data e.g. we are not aware of data linking PSE test results and prostate cancer-specific mortality. Whereas, the strength of PSA test (although not perfect) is that such outcome measures have previously been demonstrated in prospective randomised controlled trial studies. Moreover, the PSA test is part of a safe and effective pathway that has improved significantly since the introduction of mpMRI.
