How can knowing someone’s iPRS™ for prostate cancer help?
Understanding personal risk allows patients and clinicians to make more informed decisions about:
1. Screening
Those with higher risk scores may benefit from earlier or more frequent prostate cancer screening, such as PSA testing or digital rectal exams.
2. Early Detection
Prostate cancer is often easier to treat when found early. Knowing personal risk can help guide screening strategies that increase the chances of detecting cancer at a more treatable stage.
3. Prevention & Lifestyle Choices
Risk-based guidance can encourage healthy habits that support prostate health, such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and balanced nutrition.
4. Personalized Care Planning
Providers can use individualized risk estimates to tailor ongoing monitoring and preventive care.
