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."

Doctors have been taught that tissue is the standard, but I think the
science and computers and new technology have made that almost
obsolete.

Sorry ugg...but I have to agree with Jason whole heartedly. I'm not an
expert on all the scanning techniques for internal organs, but I know of
nothing to date that will identify cancer tissue (like you can by looking at
it under a microscope). So where are you coming from when you say that
"science and computers and new technology have made that almost obselete".

Please explain and give some examples if you can...Pete
