“I just felt like the technology and the skill level of HALO Dx was light years ahead of what was here available to me locally and that's why I made the choice to go down there. It just seems like a rational, logical alternative that you don't have to be a doctor to be able to appreciate."

A new study suggests that screening for prostate cancer using genetic testing and a multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) scan before an invasive biopsy could prevent as many as 1 in 6 deaths from the disease and significantly reduce over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatment.[i]

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland found between the bladder and the rectum in males. Its primary job is to produce seminal fluid. The prostate creates a protein, the prostate-specific antigen, or PSA. A PSA screening test is a blood test approved by the FDA in 1994 to measure the levels of PSA in a man’s blood.

Just as ears and noses get bigger as we age, the prostate gland continues to grow over time1. In fact, enlarged prostate—also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is so common that medical professionals consider it an inevitable consequence of aging with male hormones.

Turning 40 years of age begets a number of “rites of passage.” For men of a certain age, and/or those with a history of cancer or other ailments in their family, it may be time to discuss prostate cancer screening with their primary care physician (PCP). In most cases, the PCP acts as the first step in the assessment process for men who fall under the current guidelines of those who would benefit from a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. As such, the PCP has an important responsibility to the patient to impart hitherto life-saving information regarding the very real threat of prostate cancer and the magnitude of early detection.
