What is prostate cancer?
Early detection program
Aimed at men between the ages of 50 and 75 or with a family history of prostate cancer from the age of 40 and with a life expectancy of more than 10 years.The test consists of a simple scan such as a digital rectal exam and a conventional blood test to detect PSA. If > 4ng/ml is referred to IVO for urinalysis and culture. After ruling out urinary tract infection, a second PSA test is performed and if > 4ng/ml, a multiparametric MRI is performed.With the result of these procedures, the Uro-radiology committee discusses the relevance of performing a transrectal or transperineal prostate biopsy with ECO/MRI fusion software or mapping biopsy.
At the IVO, the early detection of prostate cancer is carried out in the Early Detection Unit II Marqués del Turia
