Slacker,
You are full of it, try reading this
Prof Derek Rosario, Consultant Urological Surgeon, Honorary Professor and Clinical Advisor (Prostate) to the UK National Screening Committee, said:
“As far as I can tell from the information in the press release from EDX Medical, there have been no prospective clinical studies of this ‘super test’. The test relies on an algorithm to combine information from around 100 previously ‘validated’ biomarkers in blood and urine. To what extent these biomarkers are feeding in additional information and how the algorithm will work in clinical practice has yet to be determined. The most telling statement to me is … “EDX Medical scientists expect the test to consistently deliver exceptionally high accuracy with levels of sensitivity and specificity of between 96-99% across an extended age-range and diverse ethnic groups. By comparison, current standard of care prostate testing, including prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests and biopsies, can be below 50%.EDX Medical’s scientific team will validate further clinical data over coming months prior to seeking regulatory approval from the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a view to launching the test later this year or early 2026.” So, there is an expectation that this test will be effective, but as far as I can tell these claims have not been demonstrated with a clinical study as yet. The test needs to be prospectively validated
