What is Prostate Cancer?

We can't do better than the Prostate Cancer UK's webpage - click here to view it. We've also got an informative slide show available by clicking here.

What's my risk?

Again, we can't do better than PCUK's page about the risk - click here to view it. You might also like to try their 30-second risk checker.

What is the PSA test?

The PSA test is a blood test in which the amount of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is measured. A raised level (currently [as of 2022] above 4) is a possible (but not definitive) indicator of prostate cancer. Raised levels leads to further tests conducted by the health service. The CPCSG strongly supports the use of PSA testing as a first indicator of the possible need for follow-up investigation for prostate cancer. However, in supporting PSA testing, we consider it vital that every man who attends the test should have a good understanding of its pros and cons, and so we have produced a detailed explanation which you can see by clicking here. There is also a very good video featuring retired consultant, David Baxter-Smith, which explains the PSA test very well - click here to view.

We hope this informastion proves helpful, but if you have any queries please email our admin at address contactcpscg@gmail.com.
