This is the test for early diagnosis for prostate cancer. Early detection is vital. When you have symptoms it's too late in as much as the disease has spread and is probably incurable. In such a situation treatment will be much more unpleasant and lifespan reduced. The test is fairly reliable but not 100%. Test available at your GP.
I took the view I would have the test as a precaution. It turned out that I had very early prostate cancer. I'm in the minority of such cases to have failed treatment but had I not gone the disease would have spread much quicker.
