Dr. Peter Scardino speaks about the 4Kscore Test

"I think the 4Kscore Test is a great tool for helping us...learn how to test smarter, how to screen patients with PSA smarter and more accurately.” -Dr. Peter Scardino How Does the 4Kscore Test Work? Prostate cancer is the 2nd most deadly cancer afflicting men and estimated to kill more than 29,000 men in the US in 2014. Urologists and primary care physicians currently screen men for prostate cancer using the PSA test and digital rectal exam (DRE). PSA screening, however, is not specific at identifying prostate cancer, and only about 20% of prostate biopsies performed following an elevated PSA reading find aggressive prostate cancer. That means that up to 80% of prostate biopsies are avoidable saving time, cost and discomfort for the patient and healthcare system. The 4Kscore Test is a blood test that delivers a patient-specific personalized risk score for having aggressive prostate cancer. The 4Kscore Test can help reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, by providing information to improve decision making before ordering a prostate biopsy.
