Prostate Cancer Screening
Private Prostate Cancer Screening in London
Take Charge of Your Health with Early Detection
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK and often has few or no symptoms in its early stages. Early screening is crucial, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes and could save your life. At The WellMan Clinic, we offer discreet, private prostate cancer screening in London, giving you peace of mind and clarity about your health.
We are the first and only clinic in the UK using the complexed prostate specific antigen (cPSA) test to diagnose early prostate cancer, and we have been doing so successfully since 2004. The cPSA test is proving to be much more accurate in identifying early prostate cancer than the traditional total PSA test, helping many men avoid the need for further tests and uncomfortable investigations.
What is PSA?
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a group of proteins produced within the prostate gland, which sits at the base of the bladder. The gland produces semen, and PSA prevents semen from clotting. A small amount of PSA enters the bloodstream, and levels naturally rise with age as the prostate enlarges. Activities such as straining, ejaculation, a full bladder, cycling, or walking can cause temporary increases in PSA levels, which are picked up by the total PSA test.
At The WellMan Clinic, we use the complex prostate specific antigen (cPSA) test to assess PSA levels in a way that is more sensitive and specifically aims to identify that part of the PSA nexus associated with malignancy, offering clearer results for early detection of prostate cancer.
Who is at risk?
In the UK, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Risk increases with age, a family history of prostate cancer, and being overweight or obese. We recommend that men over the age of 45 have annual prostate screenings, as monitoring PSA trends can help detect changes that may indicate prostate cancer early.
