Who's at risk?

Have I got PC?

As there are often no signs or indications from self examination, middle aged men should ask their GP for a PSA blood test as part of their regular medical check-ups.

PSA Test

A Prostate Specific Antigen blood test will give the doctor a more positive indication of what, if any, other investigations are required.
