[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if you would share who your doctor is because my urologist wanted to do a biopsy for elevated PSA instead of an MRI.  But  I'd like to do as you did, an MRI first. Or at least I want to get more information. My understanding is 30-40% of men with prostate cancer have a false negative from biopsy.  So how many times is a man supposed to have a negative biopsy before accepting and trusting the results?  
6.2 is elevated but as I understand, it depends on your age, the presence of BPH, other possible conditions to elevate PSA, and the trend of your PSA over sevaeral months or years.  Good lucky to you.

A normal MRI does not exclude the possibility of prostate cancer.  There are many articles on this topic on the web[/quote]

Is that true that the false negatives that high from biopsy? Alternatively, we can't ignore when the doctor suggested to go for biopsy, right? I'm scheduled for one, when MRI results came clean. [/quote]
