MiCheck® Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment
Superior risk assessment for clinically significant prostate cancer—run in your own office, helping reduce unnecessary biopsies and actively monitor patients.
PSA alone isn't enough. MiCheck® Prostate uses validated biomarker testing to assess risk for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), helping you and your patients make informed biopsy decisions or actively monitor. In-office testing with results that support confident clinical conversations.
Beyond PSA: Better Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment
Elevated PSA creates a clinical dilemma. It may indicate clinically significant prostate cancer—or it may reflect benign conditions, inflammation, or low-grade disease that doesn't require intervention. PSA alone can't distinguish between these possibilities with the precision patients and clinicians need.
The result: unnecessary biopsies. Procedures with real risks and patient anxiety, performed on men who ultimately don't have clinically significant disease. Or conversely, missed cancers in men whose PSA didn't raise adequate concern.
MiCheck® Prostate addresses this gap. Validated biomarker testing goes beyond PSA to assess risk for clinically significant prostate cancer specifically—the disease that matters, the disease that requires intervention. Better risk stratification means better decisions: proceeding to biopsy when appropriate, avoiding it when the risk is low.
How MiCheck® Prostate Works
MiCheck® Prostate analyzes biomarkers associated with clinically significant prostate cancer to generate a risk assessment that goes beyond what PSA alone can provide. The test evaluates multiple indicators to distinguish elevated-risk patients from those whose findings are more likely benign or clinically insignificant.
Unlike send-out tests that require external laboratory processing and days of waiting, MiCheck® Prostate is designed for your own laboratory. Results are available to support clinical conversations with patients—facilitating shared decision-making about next steps, including whether biopsy is appropriate.
The goal isn't just another number. It's actionable risk assessment that helps you and your patient make confident decisions together.
Key Benefits
-
Superior csPCa Risk Assessment
Performance metrics designed to identify clinically significant prostate cancer—the disease that matters. Clinical studies have shown MiCheck® Prostate outperforms other available tests.
-
In-Office Testing
Run MiCheck® Prostate in your own laboratory, not as a send-out. Results available for same-day, real-time clinical conversations.
-
Reduce Unnecessary Biopsies
Better risk stratification helps identify which patients truly need biopsy and which patients can be monitored—reducing procedures that wouldn't have changed management.
-
Beyond PSA Alone
Multi-biomarker approach provides clinical depth that single-marker PSA testing cannot match.
-
Support Shared Decision-Making
Give patients the information they need to participate meaningfully in decisions about their care.
-

Common Questions
How is MiCheck® Prostate different from PSA testing?
PSA is a single marker that can be elevated by many conditions besides clinically significant prostate cancer. MiCheck® Prostate uses multiple biomarkers to provide risk assessment specifically for csPCa—the disease that requires intervention.
Does MiCheck® Prostate replace biopsy?
No. MiCheck® Prostate is a risk assessment tool to help determine whether biopsy is appropriate. It supports biopsy decision-making but doesn't replace the diagnostic role of biopsy itself.
Can I run MiCheck® Prostate in my laboratory?
Yes. MiCheck® Prostate is designed for in-office laboratories. Doc Lab provides implementation, training, and ongoing support.
How does MiCheck® Prostate compare to other prostate biomarker tests?
MiCheck® Prostate is designed to deliver superior performance metrics for csPCa risk assessment. We're happy to discuss comparative performance—contact us for details.
What patients should be tested with MiCheck® Prostate?
MiCheck® Prostate is appropriate for men being evaluated for possible prostate cancer—typically those with elevated PSA or other concerning findings where the question is whether to proceed to biopsy.
