Understanding Your Prostate Cancer Risk

A consultant urologist will assess your symptoms and test results to determine your risk group for prostate cancer. This classification helps guide the most appropriate treatment options.

Prostate cancer risk groups:

➡ Low Risk – Tumour is confined to the prostate, PSA 20, or Grade Group 4-5 (Gleason 8-10).
Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, HIFU, or hormone therapy.

Early detection can make all the difference. A prostate MRI scan is a quick, painless way to assess your prostate health and guide next steps.

Prostate health matters. Know your options.

A prostate biopsy is one of the most accurate ways to diagnose prostate cancer. However, as an invasive procedure, it’s not always the first step. That’s why prostate MRI scans are offered as a safe, painless, and highly effective screening method.

At Prime Health, our MRI Prostate Health Check provides fast, accurate results—helping you and your doctor make informed decisions about your health.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: The Importance of Early Detection

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, with over 50,000 new cases diagnosed in the UK each year. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

One of the most powerful tools in detecting prostate cancer is an MRI scan. It provides detailed images of the prostate, helping doctors detect potential issues earlier and more accurately. Unlike a biopsy, an MRI is a less invasive option and can offer a clearer view of the prostate’s condition.

In this article, we explore the role of MRI in prostate cancer diagnosis and why it’s key in the early stages of treatment.

Stay informed and proactive about your health. Early detection can save lives.

Helping You Understand the PSA Test

The PSA test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. It can help identify potential prostate problems, including prostate cancer.

If you're over 50, the NHS offers free PSA tests via your GP surgery. Your GP might recommend this test if you're at higher risk for prostate cancer or if you're experiencing symptoms like difficulty urinating.

PSA tests are often part of men’s health screening programs, and they can also be booked privately if you prefer.

If your results are normal but you’re looking for a more thorough check, or if your PSA is raised and you want further reassurance, consider booking a private MRI Prostate Health Check for a more in-depth look at your prostate health.

Know your options and take control of your health.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

For men over 50, being aware of any changes and acting on worrying symptoms—such as changes in urination habits—can make all the difference. If you notice an increased need to urinate, a feeling of incomplete emptying, or waking up more at night to go to the toilet, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional.

While these symptoms don’t automatically mean prostate cancer, getting them checked is always worthwhile. Early diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Don’t wait—prioritise your health today. Book an appointment with your GP or a specialist to discuss any concerns.
