New prostate cancer test

Researchers have developed a new test to detect prostate cancer — and no needles are involved.

Experts created a urine test that looks for two genetic markers linked to prostate cancer.

In a new study, 13-hundred men with high PSA levels completed the urine test.
They also had surgery or a biopsy to confirm a cancer diagnosis.

They found the test detected cancer in nearly 70% of the patients considered high-risk, and in 20% of low-risk participants.
