Vanderbilt University Medical CenterFeb 3 2025 Research ers at Vanderbilt and the University of Michigan have shown that a simple at-home urine test for prostate cancer screening is highly accurate. The exciting new results, published in The Journal of Urology , build upon a prior Vanderbilt study of prostate cancer screening that required a digital rectal exam.
The test is highly accurate for ruling out the presence of clinically significant prostate cancers - those that merit treatment - so that patients with a negative test result can confidently avoid having to undergo MRI or biopsy. MyProstateScore 2.0 urine test is a non-invasive test used to help identify high-grade prostate cancers that need early detection and treatment by analyzing 18 genes associated with prostate cancer.
