4kscore Test

Meaning

The 4Kscore Test is a sophisticated blood assay utilized in urology to assess a man’s probability of having aggressive prostate cancer before a biopsy is performed. This test offers a refined risk stratification, providing critical information that moves beyond the limitations of the traditional Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test alone. It helps clinicians and patients engage in shared decision-making regarding the necessity of an invasive prostate biopsy procedure. Ultimately, this tool aims to reduce the rate of unnecessary procedures while ensuring high-risk cancers are identified promptly.
