About this test
How can a PSA blood test help you?
PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland, and is a normal component of semen. Measuring your blood levels of PSA can help detect prostate cancer before symptoms develop, and may pick up a fast-growing cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective.
If you are over the age of 50, or over the age of 45 with a strong family history of prostate cancer or from a black ethnic group, you are at higher risk and may want to track your PSA levels annually.
A standalone PSA test cannot diagnose prostate cancer. If your level is raised, you may need to have further tests arranged by your GP or a specialist. The PSA test can miss some prostate cancers in a small number of people, and may also show a raised level when no cancer is present.
What's covered in this blood test?
- PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen): PSA is produced by the prostate gland and is a normal component of semen. A PSA test is a marker for prostate cancer. Measuring your blood PSA levels can help to detect fast-growing prostate cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective.
