What is the risk of prostate cancer even if your biopsy was negative?

The ConfirmMDX test for prostate cancer addresses the concerns of a false negative biopsy and helps the urologist:

• DISCARD men who do not have prostate cancer not to undergo repeated and unnecessary biopsies.
• INCLUDE men at high risk who may need a biopsy performed again and undergo a possible treatment.

1 IN 4 MEN WITH A NEGATIVE BIOPSY REALLY HAVE CANCER

Standard prostate biopsy provides only a limited assessment as oversamples less than 1% of the entire prostate.
Prostate cancer may be present in one or more small tumors, and there is a risk that the biopsy needle may have omitted.

How you should perform the test ConfirmMDx?

If there has been a negative prostate biopsy in the last 24 months, ask your urologist if ConfirmMDx is right for you. Your doctor may send the remaining tissue samples from previous prostate biopsy for ConfirmMDx test. No need to repeat the biopsy.

Where the test is performed ConfirmMDx?

The urologist send prostate samples prior obtained biopsy to MDxHealth to perform the test on the CAP accredited and CLIA-certified laboratory in Irvine, California. The test will last about 2 weeks and then will send the results to the urologist.
