I asked a Dr. this question that was doing research on PTEN at the time. There is no blood test out for it yet. the only way to check for pten is to get into a study that is checking for it there at the research site. This was a hot topic awhile ago and i did some research on it and it got me nowhere.

I had also asked my onc. once I heard about this, wondering what if I am not.....why am I doing this...and was told that this was only proven in a lab and not to concern myself with this as yet.
