Has anyone tried or been recommended EpiSwitch?

It is reported to be a blood test with 94% accuracy.

Quote:
According to Oxford BioDynamics, the epigenetic test is designed to be used alongside a standard prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. The blood-based test works by combining PSA score with 5 epigenetic biomarkers (DAPK1, HSD3B2, SRD5A3, MMP1, and miRNA98). In a recent study of the PSE test,2 the tool was shown to improve the predictive accuracy of a standard PSA test from 55% to 94%.

Here is some more detailed research that was partly funded by the developer.

Curious why more patients have not been apprised of this complementary option.
