The large increase in the incidence of prostate cancer is largely due to testing of serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Little is known about how PSA testing is used in clinical practice outside of screening programmes. Essentially, PSA can be used in the health check-ups of men without symptoms as a form of non-systematic screening or in the work-up of symptomatic patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the cause of initiating a work-up leading to a diagnosis of prostate cancer, with emphasis on T1c tumours.
