RE: NHS.No National Screening.29 Nov 2025 13:21
Dug - just to add ...an AI search has come back with below , which contradicts the nonsense you are posting:
Also note the NHS wasted £B on stuff such as PPE equipment that were useless.....but when it comes to technologies like this that will save lives...they have their heads in the sands. As you can probably tell I'm a bit concerned that you keep blaming Ross and also making false claims when the real problem here is the NHS decision makers.
AI response to your claim : The NHS CANNOT ADOPT A MEDICALLY UNVALIDATED TEST
The EpiSwitch PSE test IS MEDICALLY VALIDATED through a number of clinical studies and real-world evidence, demonstrating high accuracy in identifying prostate cancer risk. It is available for clinical use in the US and UK private sector; however, it is not yet part of standard national screening programs like the NHS.
Key Validation Details
Clinical Studies & Peer Review: The test was developed by scientists at the University of Oxford and clinically validated by clinician scientists from Imperial College and the University of East Anglia. The results have been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Cancers and the Journal of Translational Medicine, presenting data from real-world observational studies.
High Accuracy: When combined with the standard PSA test, the EpiSwitch PSE test has demonstrated an overall accuracy of up to 94%. This is significantly higher than the PSA test alone, which is about 55% accurate.
CLIA Certification: In the US, the test is a laboratory-developed test (LDT) processed in a CLIA-certified (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) laboratory, which means it meets federal regulatory standards for clinical testing, though it is not reviewed or cleared by the FDA.
Biopsy Avoidance: Studies have shown that using the PSE test as a triage tool could help up to 80% of patients safely avoid unnecessary invasive prostate biopsies, a major limitation of current diagnostic pathways.
Insurance Coverage: In the UK, the test is covered by Bupa UK insurance. In the USA, the test is covered by insurance programs.
