Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Using prostate screening such as PSA blood tests, examinations, scans, and biopsy, we can detect this cancer type before symptoms show. We offer a choice of non-invasive procedures for prostate screening, as well as a physical biopsy that can reveal any anomalies.
Prostate screening is an essential preventive health measure for men, particularly those over the age of 50 or with risk factors for prostate cancer. Through various testing methods, we can detect prostate cancer and other conditions in their earliest, most treatable stages.
The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland located just below the bladder in men. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with around 52,300 new cases diagnosed every year.
