Genetics and Genomic Biomarkers: How Molecular Markers and mpMRI Play a Role – Summary:
R. Jonathan Henderson, MD, a urologist with Regional Urology, LLC, and President-Elect of the LUGPA Board of Directors, discusses the challenges posed by having a plethora of screening tools at a physician’s disposal, as well as how the statistical validity of these tools makes it unclear as to which are best for a given situation. He also uses his personal experience with taking a patient through the prostate cancer screening process in order to highlight the need for free and open communication with the patient, the importance of choosing a process that the physician is comfortable with, and the challenge of helping the patient find peace of mind.
