I've had PSA and Free PSA and hope to avoid a biopsy, which may turn
out to be negative like one I had 4 years ago. What do people think
about color doppler ultrasound as a step towards clarifying the
diagnoisis?

The question seems to be like an oxymoron. Is malignant tissue supposed to
travel at a different speed than than benign tissue?

I believe the only way to be certain as to whether or not cancer is
present is by conducting a biopsy. I once saw a spot on on lung X-Ray and
asked the doctor if the person had lung cancer and the doctor replied--"I
don't know until I see the results of the biopsy."
