Advanced PSA Test
Our Advanced PSA blood test combines a traditional PSA test with our novel Prostate Cancer Risk score to more accurately assess your risk of prostate cancer.
PSA levels can be raised by many factors including urinary tract infection (UTI) and benign prostate hyperplasia. It is estimated that almost 75% of men with raised PSA test results referred for further investigations have a negative prostate cancer biopsy.
- Simple blood test no need for invasive examinations
Why Get Tested
Over 52,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, with around 1 in 8 men affected in their lifetime.
Using a novel combination of biomarkers including PSA, our Prostate Cancer Risk Score can help to more accurately identify individuals at a higher risk of prostate cancer compared to a standalone PSA test. Those at lower risk are reassured and will not require unnecessary, invasive procedures.
Most men with early prostate cancer don’t have any symptoms, however it’s a good idea to get checked out just in case. Symptoms may be very similar to other conditions and can include;
- difficulty emptying your bladder or a feeling your bladder hasn’t emptied properly
- weak flow or difficulty starting to urinate
- needing to urinate more often especially during the night or a sudden need to urinate
- blood in the urine
- back/hip or pelvis pain
