Noninvasive Urine Test Predicts Grade Group Upgrading in Patients on Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer: Multisite Validation and Comparison with MRI.
September 28, 2026 · The Journal of urology
Key takeaway
This study found a new urine test can better tell if prostate cancer is getting worse than current MRI scans, especially important for Black men. This could mean fewer uncomfortable biopsies and MRI appointments for our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cancer helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
