Use of the Test. In three of the hospitals, the SelectMDx test was used prior to prostate biopsy for all patients with slightly elevated PSA levels, which is in line with what the test has been designed to do. One of these hospitals used the test in combination with an MRI scan. In six of the hospitals, the SelectMDx test was primarily used postbiopsy as a tool for selecting patients who needed another biopsy because there was continuing suspicion after negative prostate biopsy, in other words, when no prostate cancer had been identified during initial biopsy. In these cases, the urologists were using the SelectMDx test to confirm that the initial negative biopsies were indeed an indication of the absence of (a clinically significant form of) prostate cancer: "You have done biopsies and they do not show anything. Then you check the PSA again. It stays high, it goes up. Then you think: should I perform biopsies again? You want to have confirmation that your first biopsies, that did not show cancer, were correct." – HP19 The frequency of postbiopsy use of the SelectMDx test varied between hospitals. Some urologists regularly used the test after negative biopsy whereas others only used it occasionally. Even in hospitals where the SelectMDx test was used postbiopsy, it was common for not all urologists to use the test and there was no clear hospital policy on the use of the test: "Some do not use the SelectMDx test at all. And then you see three tests go out of the door on one day. There is such fluctuation. Well, I do not have the idea that they really have a clear policy here." – HP20 In some of the hospitals, tasks that are linked with the SelectMDx test, such as patient counseling, performing the test and data interpretation, were performed by the urologist, whereas in the other hospitals some of these tasks were delegated to the specialist nurse. Clinical decision-making It became clear that urologists used different cut-off points regarding the SelectMDx test results when they were making decisions about prostate biopsies. Only urologists from two of the hospitals, which both used the SelectMDx test prior to biopsy, used the 10% cut-off point, which was the aim of the developers of the test. In the other hospitals, the urologists mentioned higher cut-off points, ranging from 12 to 30% risk of clinically significant prostate cancer. In the three hospitals in which urologists applied the SelectMDx test prior to biopsy, the cut-off points were protocolized, whereas in the o...
