PSA Testing Advice
The prostate specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood test that can help diagnose prostate problems including prostate cancer. It is not a perfect test. It will miss some prostate cancers, will detect some that would never go on to cause harm and can show a raised PSA level when there is no prostate cancer present.
For more information please read the government leaflet below which provides clear and balanced information that can help you decide if you want to have a PSA test or not.
