08.01.2022 {PROSTATE CANCER SCREENING} Did you know? Prostate cancer becomes more common as you age. ... There is also an increased risk if you have at least one close relative who has been previously diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 65. For many years, a blood test called a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) has been used as a screening tool for prostate cancer. The PSA test is now mainly used for those men who have symptoms that may suggest a prostate problem, such as urinary hesitancy, poor stream and dribbling at the end of urination. However, these symptoms don’t necessarily mean cancer and it is important to speak to your doctor. If you have questions, please call the practice to arrange an appointment on (07) 4635 6111. https://www.toowoombamedicalcentre.com.au//prostate-cance/
