Early detection

More than 3,000 men die of prostate cancer in Australia each year and the key to survival is catching it early. Generally a slow growing disease, the majority of men diagnosed with low grade prostate cancer live for many years without symptoms and without it spreading. However high grade disease spreads quickly and can be fatal.

A number of risk factors are linked to an increased chance of developing prostate cancer including age and family history. There is also evidence that diet and lifestyle are risk factors for prostate cancer.

In the early stages of prostate cancer there may be no symptoms, but in the later stages might include the frequent need to urinate, finding it difficult or uncomfortable to urinate and finding blood in urine or semen.

A new marker for prostate cancer has been recently identified – truncated proPSA (p2PSA). This molecule is present as a higher proportion of the Free PSA fraction in patients with prostate cancer.

*Please refer to the Department of Health position statement regarding prostate cancer screening before ordering this test.
