## The prostate and screening

In its early stages prostate cancer causes no symptoms. Every man aged 50 and over should see a urologist once a year, and earlier where there is a family history.

## The check-up in the practice

- Digital rectal examination (DRE)
- PSA value and how it changes over time
- Transrectal ultrasound
- Ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy
- Transurethral resection and laser treatment

> “One in seven men will develop prostate cancer at some point in his life.”

Prostate cancer diagnosed at an early stage has a very high chance of cure.
