The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing worldwide. Prostate cancer is the most common malignant cancer in men. Heredity and age are important factors that have a significant impact on its development. You are at risk if you have close relatives with the disease and if you are over 40 years of age.
Initially, the disease may not show any symptoms and regular screening is therefore particularly important. Early diagnosis significantly increases the likelihood of successful treatment.Prostate screening is performed by a urologist in a urology outpatient clinic as part of a comprehensive preventive examination:
- PSA + fPSA tumour marker testing
- palpation (tactile) examination of the prostate through the rectum, by which the urologist can more accurately assess the shape, size, elasticity, or confinement of the prostate
- ultrasound examination
- examination of urine and urinary sediment
- other blood tests
The examination is painless, quick and there is no need to worry about it in any way.
Currently, the age limit for the first preventive check-up has been raised from 50 to 40 years and should be repeated at least every three years thereafter. In the case of a positive family history of prostate cancer, it is recommended to perform follow-up examinations even more frequently.
