What does this test Prostate Health Index (PHI) Test identify?

  • Prostate Health Index (PHI) Test:
  • The Prostate Health Index (PHI) Test is a blood test that combines three different prostate-specific biomarkers: total PSA (prostate-specific antigen), free PSA, and [-2]proPSA to calculate a single score.
  • The PHI Test helps to identify men who may be at higher risk of having prostate cancer or may benefit from further investigation, such as a prostate biopsy.
  • The PHI Test is more specific for detecting prostate cancer compared to traditional PSA testing alone, as it takes into account the ratio of different forms of PSA in the blood.
