Along with this possible new form of testing, is it possible that future testing might somehow indicate that certain kind or type of treatment would be most productive? kapm
why would someone be opposed to genomic testing if it's known to possibly uncover additional information about your prostate cancer? Is there a science based reason for opposing genomic testing?
Thanks, Jess. Not everyone gets genomic testing. Some doctors swear by it. There's country-by-country differences. Testing is more common in the US than Canada or Europe. Insurance also may be a barrier though Medicare in the U.S. likely will cover. I included a survey with this article. Why not respond? The Active Surveillor.
