Prostate Cancer

Changes/additions to materials:
NHS Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme materials are available to support health professionals in counselling men who do not have symptoms of prostate cancer but who are considering having a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test. It is important that men requesting a PSA test are given information concerning the benefits, limitations and risks associated with having the test. Support materials are available in an information pack, including a summary sheet, a booklet outlining the evidence, and a leaflet for men.

NICE guidance recommends that advises that men who present with symptoms suggestive of prostate cancer should have a digital rectal examination (DRE) and a PSA test after counselling. The results of these investigations will guide referral and further action.
