Unfortunately, we're finding that [the TRUS biopsy] is really not very effective at all. When you look at the statistics of a normal size gland the chances of actually finding that tumor are about 15 percent. So, 85 percent of patients by that biopsy method may be missing their cancer.

A lot of patients are being treated inappropriately with the wrong therapies because they're either under-diagnosed or over-diagnosed.

It's like playing Battleship with the prostate. Every hole that we have has a coordinate, and we can place the needle through that. We have a picture that overlays and shows us the prostate and where that biopsy's being taken from. Then, we can basically look at the picture when we get a positive biopsy back and see exactly where the cancer is in the gland.

We find that a lot of them have very significant cancer that needs to be treated but wouldn't have been treated unless we had done this biopsy.

Gore has the economy on his side and the statistics he will be able to produce will be an impressive argument. I am expecting a very close election,

Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable
