An article about a PET-CT imaging technique that looks promising for men who have not been treated yet. 64Cu-TP3805 imaging agent. Requires further studies.

Was just going to post the same link. This is real progress in locating prostate cancer, and clearing folks who have other prostate issues, but were worried about cancer.

But, it looks like it still falls short of the holy grail of avoiding biopsies to determine the grade of cancer. Oh, well, progress is progress.
