With an impressive 94% accuracy rate, the EpiSwitch PSE test empowers patients and physicians to make informed decisions.

In this episode, Dr. Garrett Pohlman explores the latest innovations in prostate cancer screening, focusing on the EpiSwitch PSE blood test. 

Stay tuned to discover the benefits of the new EpiSwitch PSE test and learn how precision medicine is reshaping prostate cancer management for men.
