The “Ygeia Florinas” Diagnostic Centre, aiming to contribute to the early diagnosis of prostate cancer and within the framework of the European Day for the disease on September 15th, invites you to a free laboratory test of the specialized prostate- specific antigen – PSA from September 15th to 18th for men over the age of 50.
After the age of 50, benign prostatic hyperplasia may occur in men, while it is estimated that 1 in 7, at an older age, will be affected by prostate cancer. The onset of malignancy may remain asymptomatic for a long period, while symptoms may appear after the cancer has spread.
The most common symptoms include:
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in the male population, and it is the second leading cause of death from malignancy, after lung cancer. However, early diagnosis yields high success rates in treatment. For this reason, in combination with the free PSA blood test, clinical examination by a specialist urologist is also recommended.
