Overview
What is the Stockholm3 Test?
Stockholm3 is a blood test that combines multiple protein markers, genetic markers, and clinical data to provide a more accurate assessment of prostate cancer risk than PSA testing alone. Developed through extensive research, this test has been validated in large clinical studies involving over 75,000 men.
Benefits Over Traditional PSA Testing
Traditional PSA testing, while useful, can lead to false positives that result in unnecessary biopsies and anxiety, or be falsely reassuring – it is low in up to 15% of prostate cancers The Stockholm3 test offers improved specificity, meaning it's better at distinguishing between aggressive cancers that need treatment and slower-growing cancers that may only require monitoring. This leads to fewer unnecessary procedures while still detecting clinically significant cancers.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Stockholm3 test is appropriate for men aged 45-75 who are considering prostate cancer screening. It is particularly valuable for men with a borderline PSA level who want a more accurate risk assessment before deciding on biopsy, men with family history of prostate cancer and men who want the most advanced screening available.
The Testing Process
The test requires a simple blood sample, which is analysed for multiple markers. Results are combined with information about your age, family history, and any previous biopsy results to calculate your individual risk score. Our specialists discuss your results in detail and explain any recommended next steps.
