Prostate cancer, which affects the walnut-sized gland crucial for male reproductive function, has become increasingly common and along with lung and bowel cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among men in the UK. While some cases progress slowly and remain localised, others can rapidly spread, which reinforces the importance of early diagnosis.

Whether you're grappling with raised PSA levels detected by your GP or experiencing symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, pain during urination, blood in urine, or other concerns related to prostate health, we aim to evaluate your condition comprehensively within 48 hours.

What are signs of prostate cancer?

Understanding the signs of prostate cancer is crucial, particularly for those over 50, of black ethnicity, or with a family history of the disease. Prostate cancer symptoms typically manifest when the cancer grows near and presses against the urethra, altering urinary patterns. However, early-stage prostate cancer often progresses without noticeable symptoms, making awareness of risk factors imperative.

It’s important not to dismiss urological symptoms as part of getting older. If you experience any of these symptoms or possess risk factors, our consultants are here to provide guidance and support. Contact us today to make an appointment with one of our consultants.

Advanced Prostate Cancer tests

Whether it's early-stage prostate cancer or more aggressive forms, our expert consultants ensure rapid diagnosis and tailored treatment recommendations.

The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test measures the level of PSA in your blood, which may indicate a problem with your prostate.

Our innovative PSE (Prostate-Specific Epigenome) test compliments the PSA test by enhancing the accuracy in prostate cancer detection without the need for a biopsy.

By analysing 3D genomic profiling, the PSE test reduces unnecessary procedures and provides a reliable method for assessing the likelihood of prostate cancer.

If indicated by blood test results or clinical findings, a prostate biopsy may be recommended.

This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting tissue samples for examination, guiding subsequent treatment decisions.

Depending on the biopsy findings, further investigations such as PET scans, Bone scans, or CT scans may be conducted to assess the extent of the cancer and guide treatment planning for optimal outcomes.

Our state-of-the-art 3T MRI machine delivers high-resolution imaging, enabling our consultants to detect abnormalities with exceptional clarity.

This non-invasive diagnostic tool enhances our ability to identify tumors or inflammation, facilitating accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning.
