Mr. Andrew Ballaro's Places of Practice

How Aggressive is my Prostate Cancer?
The latest genomic tests for prostate cancer, including Prolaris (Myriad Genetics) allow urologists to make an assessment of how agggressive the cancer is likely to be. This in turn helps the doctors to recommend highly personalised care and structured treatment regimens that are entirely appropriate according the individual patient's genes.
The Prolaris prostate cancer test has been "validated" in its ability to predict disease-specific death in the largest study of its kind and is now starting to be used by some urology centres. However, it is still early days and more work is needed to establish clinical utility in the more routine setting.
