The symptoms of prostate cancer are not specific. Most commonly it is a difficulty in passing urine (although this condition also affects the majority of men after middle-age and is usually benign). In addition, many men are reluctant to discuss health concerns with other people and as a result, prostate cancer diagnosis can be delayed.
The following screening programme is designed for men over the age of 40 years to fully assess their prostate health:
- Patients receive an information pack and complete a self-assessment questionnaire on urinary function, sexual function and general health
- A clinical nurse specialist then conducts a urine test, blood pressure check, height and weight measurement, urinary flow rate and bladder scan
- A Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test is then carried out via a blood sample
- A clinical examination is then undertaken by a doctor, together with a consultation about the results
To discuss screening for your workforce please call the HCA Commercial Team on 020 7616 4848.
