Aureon offers two predictive tests for prostate cancer that utilize Systems Pathology: a personalized and patented approach to assessing individual risk.

Patients and physicians can use this risk assessment information during the treatment selection process.
Patients who have had surgery can benefit from Aureon's second test, Post-Op Px, to help assess their likelihood of cancer recurrence.
