Prostate Scanning

Like other forms of cancer, prostate cancer is an insidious disease. It's the most common male cancer in the UK, accounting for 23% of new diagnoses annually.

Unfortunately, many men, especially those in the early stages of the disease, will have no symptoms at all, and it may go undetected for up to ten years. By this time, it may be too late and the cancer may have spread to other parts of the body.

However, the good news is that prostate cancer, if treated early enough, may be curable.

Healthcare Now offers screening for prostate cancer which involves two simple tests, carried out by a consultant urologist. It only takes a few minutes and is worth it for peace of mind.
