PSA Test for Prostate Cancer in London

PSA Test for Prostate Cancer
With Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran, a world-leading prostate cancer specialist
A PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test is often the first step in assessing prostate health. It may be recommended when there are concerns about prostate cancer, such as a raised PSA level, new urinary symptoms, or as part of routine health assessment.
At this stage, accurate and specialist interpretation of results is essential. PSA levels can be influenced by a range of factors, and understanding what your result means in context is key to determining the most appropriate next steps.
Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran provides expert assessment of PSA results, offering a structured and considered approach to help you understand your result and whether any further investigation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal PSA level?
PSA levels vary between individuals and are influenced by age and other factors. Results are interpreted in context, allowing for a more accurate and meaningful assessment rather than relying on a single “normal” value.
Does a raised PSA mean I have prostate cancer?
No. A raised PSA does not necessarily indicate prostate cancer. Levels can also be affected by benign prostate enlargement, inflammation, or other non-cancerous conditions. Further assessment is only recommended where appropriate.

What happens if my PSA is raised?
If your PSA level is raised, the next step is usually a more detailed assessment. This may include an MRI scan to provide further information before considering any additional tests. A biopsy is only recommended where it is clinically appropriate.
Should I have a PSA test if I have no symptoms?
In some cases, PSA testing may be appropriate even without symptoms, particularly depending on age and individual risk factors. A specialist assessment can help determine whether testing is recommended in your situation.

Will I need further tests after a PSA test?
Not always. Further tests are only recommended where appropriate, based on your PSA result and overall clinical assessment. Many patients do not require additional investigation.
Why does specialist interpretation matter for PSA testing?
PSA testing is not simply about the result itself, but about how it is interpreted. Specialist input ensures that results are assessed accurately and in context, helping to avoid unnecessary anxiety or procedures while ensuring that important findings are not missed.

Leading a £3 Million Oxford Prostate Cancer Surgery Trial
Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran is Chief Investigator of the PRESIDENT Trial, a major prostate cancer research study funded by a £3 million Department of Health and Social Care grant and led by the University of Oxford.
The seven-year, multi-centre trial will recruit 749 patients across at least 25 centres throughout the UK. It aims to determine whether radical prostatectomy can improve survival and quality of life for men whose prostate cancer has spread but remains limited (oligometastatic prostate cancer), helping to address an important evidence gap in modern prostate cancer treatment.
Alongside providing specialist care to patients at Prostate Clinic London, Professor Prasanna continues to lead internationally recognised research that is helping shape the future of prostate cancer surgery and improve treatment for men in the UK and beyond.
