New urine test for prostate cancer: Could it change follow-up care?

Hello everyone,

How are you feeling today?

Many members in this group know how stressful PSA tests and biopsies can be, not just at diagnosis but also during follow-ups. Some biopsies confirm aggressive cancer that needs treatment, while others detect slow-growing cancers that might only need monitoring. However, biopsies aren’t easy, they can be painful, carry risks of infection, and add to the emotional burden of managing prostate cancer.

A new urine-based test, MyProstateScore 2.0 (MPS2), was recently developed to help doctors distinguish between aggressive and low-risk prostate cancers more accurately. In studies, this test:

✔️ Ruled out aggressive cancer with 97% accuracy

✔️ Could help reduce unnecessary biopsies by up to 51%

✔️ May offer a less invasive new tool for follow-up care and monitoring

This raises some important questions:

For those monitoring their cancer, would this test make you feel more confident in avoiding unnecessary biopsies?

For those who’ve undergone multiple biopsies, how do you feel about a potential non-invasive option?

Do you think new tests like this could improve how prostate cancer is managed long-term?
