Elevated PSA? You May Not Need a Prostate BiopsyThe Prostate Health Index is an FDA approved Blood Test that can Help Differentiate Prostate Cancer from Benign Prostate Conditions in Men with Elevated PSA. |
The Prostate Health Index (phi ) Can Reduce Unnecessary Biopsies
The Prostate Health Index is an FDA approved blood test that can help differentiate prostate cancer from benign conditions in men with elevated PSA. The Prostate Health Index utilizes three different PSA markers (PSA, freePSA, and p2PSA) as part of a sophisticated algorithm to more reliably determine the probability of cancer in patients with elevated PSA levels and can help men and their physicians decide if a prostate biopsy is indicated.

Prostate Health Index Patient Selection Criteria
Male patients may be a candidate for the Prostate Index Test if they are age 50 years and older with an elevated PSA between 4ng/ml and 10ng/ml. Peer-reviewed published studies support the use of Prostate Health Index in men with total PSA values as low as 2 ng/ml (1-4)
The Prostate Health Index is included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guideline for Prostate Cancer Early Detection as a blood test to improve specificity for prostate cancer detection. (5)
