Prostate Cancer Risk Test
A specialist blood test combining PSA with additional blood markers to provide a prostate cancer risk score. Results can help your clinician assess whether further investigation is needed alongside your symptoms, medical history and family history. Please book following clinical advice so we can discuss the benefits and limitations of testing and confirm that this panel is appropriate for you.
What does it check?
- Total prostate-specific antigen (PSA): a protein produced by the prostate
- Additional protein markers: markers of inflammation and growth used in the laboratory's risk calculation
- Prostate cancer risk score: calculated from the panel results
- Free PSA: also tested if total PSA is raised, according to the laboratory's criteria
Who may benefit?
Men over 40 or those with a family history of prostate cancer who are seeking a more detailed assessment than a standard PSA test alone, with results interpreted alongside their symptoms, medical history and family history.
Before your appointment
- Morning appointments only. Fasting is not normally required unless advised.
- Avoid ejaculation, anal sex, cycling and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- Contact us if you have a current or recent urine infection, prostatitis, catheter insertion or prostate procedure. Testing may need to be delayed.
- Tell us about medicines and supplements, particularly finasteride, dutasteride and testosterone treatment. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice.
- Bring previous PSA results, if available, and details of any family history of prostate cancer.
Results and follow-up
A clinician will review your results, explain the findings and advise on next steps. These may include repeat testing or referral for specialist assessment. A telephone consultation with Dr Iqbal, our GP and Medical Director, is included where clinically required, at no additional charge. If further investigation is needed, we may recommend contacting your own GP for a urology referral. With your consent, we can share your results and a clinical summary.
£139 includes blood collection, laboratory testing, clinician review and an explanation of your results, with a GP telephone consultation where clinically required. A £25 booking deposit is deducted from the total, leaving £114 payable at your appointment. A separate initial consultation to assess symptoms or choose tests is not included. Any additional consultations, investigations or treatment will be discussed and priced before proceeding.
Please read our cancellation policy before booking.
Important information
This test cannot diagnose or rule out prostate cancer. A higher risk score does not confirm cancer, and a lower score does not exclude it.
PSA can rise because of an enlarged prostate, infection or inflammation. Further assessment, such as an MRI scan or biopsy, may be needed.
This is not a genetic test and does not predict your lifetime risk of prostate cancer. If you have urinary symptoms or blood in your urine, seek medical advice rather than waiting for this test.
