Prostate Cancer Screening

PSA Blood Test

The PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test measures the level of PSA protein in your blood. Elevated PSA may indicate prostate inflammation, enlargement, or cancer.

Duration: Around 5 minutes for a standard blood draw.

Sensation: Mild discomfort or brief stinging at the needle site; no recovery time required.

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

The DRE allows Dr Tan to assess the prostate’s size, shape, and surface through a short physical examination. It helps detect nodules or irregularities not visible on scans or blood tests.

Duration: About 1–2 minutes.

Sensation: A brief feeling of pressure or mild discomfort, but the exam is not painful. It is performed professionally and only when clinically indicated.

Imaging & Advanced Tests

If PSA results are raised or inconclusive, Dr Tan may recommend additional assessments such as Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) or the Prostate Health Index (PHI) test.

Duration: MRI scans typically take 30–45 minutes; PHI blood tests take less than 10 minutes.

Sensation: Both tests are non-invasive and painless. No sedation or downtime is needed.

Follow-Up Evaluation

If abnormalities are detected, Dr Tan will review the findings and discuss next steps, which may include repeat PSA testing, MRI, or a targeted biopsy if warranted.

Duration: Depends on the procedure type. Consultations usually last 15–30 minutes.

Sensation: Discussion-based; further procedures, if recommended, are explained clearly before being performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see Dr Tan?

No referral is needed. You can book directly for a private consultation with Dr Tan.

Do I need screening if I don’t have any symptoms?

Yes. Prostate conditions, including cancer, often develop silently. Early screening helps detect issues before they become serious.

What are the early signs that something may be wrong with my prostate?

Frequent urination, weak urine flow, blood in urine, or discomfort in the lower back, groin, or pelvic area can be warning signs worth checking.

What happens during the screening process?

Screening usually starts with a PSA blood test. Depending on the result, Dr Tan may recommend a prostate exam, MRI, or other advanced tests if needed.

Are there non-invasive ways to check for prostate cancer?

Yes. PSA blood tests and prostate MRI scans are non-invasive ways to assess risk before considering a biopsy.

Will the tests be painful or uncomfortable?

Most screenings, such as PSA blood tests or MRI scans, are quick and painless. If an exam is needed, it’s performed professionally and with care.

What happens if my PSA level is high?

A high PSA doesn’t always mean cancer. Dr Tan will review your result, discuss possible causes, and may suggest follow-up imaging or repeat tests.

How soon will I get my results?

PSA results are usually available within a few days. Dr Tan will personally explain your results and next steps clearly during your review.

Will my consultation and results be kept private?

Yes. All consultations and records are handled confidentially in a discreet clinical setting.
