Sheffield Prostate Screening Event - Discounted PSA Blood Testing - For more information Click here
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Using prostate screening procedures such as PSA blood tests, examinations, scans, and biopsies, we can detect this cancer type before symptoms show. At LivingCare, we offer a choice of non-invasive procedures for prostate screening in Leeds, 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.
