Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK.
If you were assigned male at birth, then you have something called a prostate gland.
The PSA test is a simple blood test. It measures prostate-specific antigen, which is a type of protein produced by the prostate.
Prostate cancer is the is the most important cause for a raised PSA test but there are other conditions that can cause it to go up.
It’s up to you whether or not you have a PSA test, and the PSA test is not perfect.
A normal PSA result means you are unlikely to have cancer. You don’t need to do anything else.
