If, half a dozen years later, it has lived up to its promise, would this not obviate the need for highly intrusive prostate biopsies? At over one million prostate biopsies performed for year, they are a prime money maker for the health care industry.

As such, would there not be great resistance to a simple (or even complex) blood test taking over from biopsies?
