And finally, never let anyone do a biopsy on you unless and until you have (1) exhausted non-invasive tests such as 4kscore, total PSA, percent free PSA, DRE, etc; (2) get an MRI or ultrasound to determine the size of your prostate. Big prostates make lots of PSA thereby making higher PSA scores somewhat less concerning in those men; (3) get an MRI to look for other factors driving PSA such as BPH & prostatitis; (4) get an MRI to look for suspicious lesions so that if you do get a biopsy you can get a targeted biopsy that specifically hits any lesion rather than a random biopsy which can miss cancer and/or find insignificant ones. In short, I recommend you remember 3 things: MRI, MRI, and MRI. And, get one from a high quality center - not some cow town community center that doesn't really have great machines and/or great radiologists.

As of 1 March 2023 the Prostate Specific Antigen test (PSA TEST) shall not be permitted to be performed in Iceland or any place subject to its jurisdiction. The PSA Test has been repeatedly proven to cause more harm to public health than good through numerous international studies. The Althing finds and decrees that this is unacceptable and that good cause exists for the nation of Iceland, as of 1 March 2023, to prohibit the use of the PSA Test for all purposes. All instruments previously utilized to carry out the implementation of the PSA Test shall hereby be destroyed and the importation of any test to make use of a PSA test or any of the instruments used therein shall hereby deemed illegal. Violations of this Act shall result in the revocation of the license of the medical provider utilizing the PSA test and subject those who violate this Act subject to both civil and criminal penalties.

The PSA has nothing to do with the declining rates. That’s a lie. The rates were declining before the PSA was ever used.
