Interesting to hear about the ISO PSA test and someone who took it. I (and a lot of others) would like to hear from someone who has taken the newly available Mir Sentinel liquid biopsy. It was rolled out at the annual AUA conference last week in New Orleans. Among the unique and attractive qualities of this test is the fact psa IS NOT part of the measurement. From Dr. Klotz, "This is a new assay that's based on analysis of 442 individual microRNA sequences derived from urinary exosomes." Someone contacted company for price and reported it is around $1200. A bargain if it prevents you from needing a biopsy. From company website: "The miR Sentinel™ Prostate Cancer Test is a standalone, non-invasive liquid biopsy urine test that accurately detects, classifies and can monitor prostate cancer at the molecular level."

As someone on AS since November 2006 I am somewhat concerned about the plethora of Active Surveillance Pioneers and Poster Child(ren) being featured by the Active Surveyor
