PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland. Measuring your levels of PSA can help detect prostate cancer before symptoms develop, and may pick up a fast-growing cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective.
If you are over the age of 50, or over the age of 45 with a strong family history of prostate cancer or of black ethnicity, you may want to track your PSA levels annually.
A standalone PSA test cannot diagnose prostate cancer. If your level is raised, you may need to have further tests arranged by your GP. The PSA test can miss some prostate cancers in a small number of people, and may also show a raised level when no prostate cancer is present.
