A story of resilience in the face of prostate cancer. A Prolaris® patient story.

From his early days as a firefighter to his time as a police officer and combat pilot in Vietnam, Mike has always approached life’s obstacles head-on. So when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he approached it with the same determination.

After considering his treatment options, Mike was relieved when his urologist recommended the Prolaris® Test, an advanced genetic test that combines tools like Gleason score and PSA with a personalized tumor score to determine how aggressive a patient’s prostate cancer is, and the best way to treat it.

“When the Prolaris test results came back…it was life altering” said Mike after learning his Prolaris results recommended active surveillance, meaning his cancer was slow growing and he could avoid radical forms of treatment like surgery or radiation.

For Mike, this was not just another challenge but an opportunity to be informed and prepared. “To be forewarned is to be forearmed,” he says, emphasizing the power of knowledge. With the support of his provider and the Prolaris test, Mike felt confident in his treatment plan.
