This risk calculator is for patients who have been deemed to be suitable candidates for biopsy by their urologist. This means that, for instance, they have been evaluated to see if their PSA level is due to a disease other than cancer, such having an enlarged prostate, a common problem in older men. If you have not been evaluated by your urologist and told that you are a good candidate for biopsy, the risk calculator will likely ovestimate your risk of having prostate cancer.

You don't promote men's health at the expense of women's health, or children's health, or cancer. You don't sacrifice one for the sake of the others; It's an 'and' statement, we have to do to all of these." - Lowry Caudill
