Prostate cancer is common and often silent in its early stages, which is why screening matters. Screening centres on a PSA blood test and a prostate examination, with ultrasound and biopsy where indicated.

The aim is early detection when treatment is most effective — and equally, reassurance when a raised PSA turns out to be benign, as it often does.
If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.
A prostate-specific antigen level, interpreted against age, prostate size and prior results.
A brief examination assesses the prostate for nodules or firmness.
Ultrasound adds detail and measures prostate volume where useful.
If PSA or imaging is suspicious, a targeted biopsy confirms or excludes cancer.
PSA and examination on a sensible schedule for your age and family history.
A raised PSA is interpreted in context — it is often benign (BPH or prostatitis).
Where concern remains, biopsy is arranged to settle the question.
If cancer is confirmed, immediate referral with English records.
Prostate cancer screening here is interpreted by a board-certified urologist and member of the Korean Prostate Society, so a raised PSA is neither dismissed nor over-reacted to — biopsy is recommended when genuinely warranted. English-speaking support and records make the process clear for foreign patients.
No. PSA rises with BPH, prostatitis and age too. It is a screening signal that guides whether further tests, including biopsy, are needed.
Discussion is reasonable for men over 50, or earlier with a family history. We help you decide based on your risk.
Primarily a PSA blood test and a prostate examination, with ultrasound and, if needed, biopsy.
We explain the findings clearly and, if cancer is confirmed, refer you promptly with records in English.
