Prostate Assessments
How we assess and diagnose prostate cancer
We have a distinctive approach to the assessment of prostate cancer, utilising the most advanced diagnostic tests to build a full picture of your personalised risk. We offer prostate cancer assessments not widely available elsewhere, such as the PCA 3 test, prostate MRI before biopsy and template biospy. We welcome patients who would like to see us for a second opinion.
A step-by-step guide to the way we diagnose prostate cancer
The way we assess prostate cancer risk has been transformed by advanced new tests. This means we can build a more accurate picture of your individual prostate cancer risk. This step-by-step guide shows the sequence of tests we carry out and this page explains how once prostate cancer is diagnosed, the disease is classified as either low, medium or high risk.
