No Fear – Keep Your Pants On it’s Only a Blood Test

Contact your local CANSA Care Centre to arrange for a PSA blood test:

An annual PSA blood test is recommended for men aged 50 years (40 – 45 years for those at high risk):

• The PSA test is a blood test used primarily to screen for prostate cancer.
• The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood, as raised levels may indicate prostate inflammation or prostate cancer.
• PSA is a protein produced by both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue in the prostate, a small gland located below the bladder in men.
• The blood is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
