Today, the initial step to diagnose prostate cancer is by testing PSA together with a digital rectal examination (DRE). The PSA test is a well-established prostate-specific marker that measures the concentration of PSA molecules (Prostate-Specific Antigen) in a blood sample. A high level of PS...

Professor Kristian Helin, chief executive of ICR said: "Cancers that are picked up early are much more likely to be curable, and with prostate cancer cases set to double by 2040, we must have a programme in place to diagnose the disease early. ...
"When we do diagnoseprostate cancer, the urine test has the potential to differentiate those who need to have treatment from those who do not need treatment, which would be invaluable. These patients go on to an active surveillance programme following the diagnosis which may involve repeat biopsie...

Given the uncertainties with PSA test results, only a prostate biopsy (removal of prostate tissue through an invasive procedure for analysis) can diagnose prostate cancer. RELATED: What a High PSA Level Means if It’s Not Prostate Cancer
April 28, 2007 — -- An article in the current issue of the journal Urology illustrates some of the hopes and barriers related to advancing our abilities to diagnose prostate cancer accurately through screening tests at the earliest possible time. ...
A previous version of the test, called the Prostate Urine Risk (PUR), could only tell whether men had high- and low-risk cancers. With fine tuning, however, the test may now be able to diagnose men with intermediate-risk disease who may only need watchful waiting. ...
