P
rostate
cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in
men. The American Cancer Society recommends that all men
50 and over be tested for prostate cancer. 26 million
American men have not yet been tested. New studies
indicate that PSA screening can reduce the death rate
from prostate cancer by 22%. Early detection is the most
important advantage a patient can have in the fight
against prostate
cancer.
Convenient The UniMed PSA Detection System provides a PSA test result from a simple fingerstick blood draw in lieu of a venipuncture draw. Three drops of blood are collected on a specially designed card. Once the card is dry it is simply slipped into an envelope and mailed to the laboratory for analysis. PSA test results may be reported in group or individual format.
Cost Effective Many insurance carriers now reimburse for PSA screening. (14 states have mandated coverage.) The UniMed PSA Detection System has made it simple for patients to do their own billing for insurance reimbursement.
Accurate Dried blood technology provides the same accuracy and precision as other collection techniques currently available. This new technology involves a special process to rehydrate and lift the dried blood spots off of the collection card at the laboratory. The sample is then analyzed as serum, giving you the same level of confidence as a professional blood draw.
