   Can a PSA test detect prostate cancer?

   • The blood test, called a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, measures the level of PSA and may help detect early prostate cancer. If you are over 50, you can ask a GP for a PSA test. PSA tests are not routinely used to screen for prostate cancer, as results can be unreliable. Your PSA level can also be raised by other, non-cancerous conditions.

   Can a PSA test Miss prostate cancer?

   • The PSA test can miss prostate cancer. For example, one major study showed that 1 in 7 men with a normal PSA level may have prostate cancer, and 1 in 50 men with a normal PSA level may have a fast-growing cancer. If your PSA level is raised you may need a biopsy. This can cause side effects, such as pain, infection and bleeding.
