4kscore® Test
GenPath is pleased to offer 4Kscore®, a diagnostic blood test for accurately identifying the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. The 4Kscore® test can help distinguish whether a patient has a low risk of having aggressive prostate cancer upon biopsy versus a high risk, helping to avoid unnecessary biopsies and overtreatment of indolent disease.
The 4Kscore® test uses a clinically validated algorithm that combines biomarker data with clinical information (age, prior biopsy history, and, DRE) to determine a patient’s personalized risk for aggressive prostate cancer upon biopsy. The 4Kscore® test is included in prostate cancer early detection guidelines as a follow-up test to help improve the specificity of PSA screening and should be used in an overall evaluation to determine prostate cancer risk.
The 4Kscore® Test:
- Allows for improved decision making between healthcare provider and patient and the development of a personalized treatment plan
- Reduces avoidable biopsies and overtreatment of indolent prostate cancer, producing savings for the healthcare system and minimizing the risk to patients
- Prompts early intervention in patients who would most benefit from timely diagnosis and treatment
