Frequently asked questions
Q:
Why doesn’t the NHS screen for prostate cancer using PSA tests?
A:
There is currently no national screening programme for prostate cancer in the UK. However, if you are aged 50 or over and would like to have your PSA levels tested you can arrange for it to be carried out by your GP or online for a fee. If results show you have a raised level of PSA, your GP may suggest further tests including an MRI scan or a biopsy.
