Catch it early, while it's still simple to treat.
Most cancers are easiest to treat in the stage before they cause symptoms. A screening check finds problems while they're small, often turning a difficult diagnosis into a straightforward one. Our Male Cancer Check looks at the two cancers most likely to affect men across different life stages: testicular and prostate.
How it works — five steps, one complete picture
Every Male Cancer Check brings your history, a clinical opinion, examination, blood results, and imaging together, so nothing is assessed in isolation.
A structured symptom and history questionnaire, so your doctor has the full picture from the start.
A face-to-face discussion of your history, symptoms and risk factors, and a chance to ask questions before any examination takes place.
A clinical examination: testicular for all ages, and a prostate physical examination from age 45.
A PSA blood test for prostate risk, with results explained in the context of your history and examination, not read in isolation.
Ultrasound for the testicles if your examination indicates it (charged separately), and MRI of the prostate, included with Male Cancer Check Pro.
Two checks, two very different risk windows
A clinical physical examination of both testes, looking for changes in size, shape, texture or tenderness — the cancer most likely to affect men in early adulthood, and one of the most treatable when caught early.
- Normal exam — no palpable abnormality, routine reassurance given
- Benign finding — cyst or fluid collection, monitored rather than referred
- Suspicious finding — firm or irregular lump, referred on to ultrasound (charged separately)
Includes a physical (digital rectal) examination of the prostate and a PSA blood test. Prostate cancer is overwhelmingly adenocarcinoma (over 95% of cases); rarer forms tend to behave more aggressively.
- Normal exam — smooth, symmetrical gland, PSA within age-adjusted range
- Benign enlargement — smooth but enlarged, consistent with BPH rather than cancer
- Suspicious finding — hard, irregular or asymmetric texture, or a raised PSA, prompting further investigation
What the PSA test can and can't tell you
PSA is a useful first signal, not a diagnosis. It's good at flagging men who might have prostate cancer, but a raised result has many causes besides cancer, which is exactly why it's paired with a physical exam, and why the Pro check adds MRI.
Choose your check
Both include the full testicular and prostate assessment above. Pro adds a prostate MRI, currently the most informative single test for exploring the prostate in detail.
- Testicular examination, all ages
- Ultrasound referral if indicated (extra charge)
- Prostate physical examination, age 45+
- PSA blood test with age-adjusted interpretation
- Written results with clear next steps
- Urgent Urologist referral if indicated
- Everything in Male Cancer Check
- Multiparametric MRI of the prostate
- The most detailed single view of prostate tissue available, ahead of any decision on biopsy
- Findings reviewed alongside your exam and PSA result, not in isolation
- Priority Urologist review if MRI or other findings are suspicious
What happens with your results
Results explained in your report, with a recommended interval before your next check.
Findings that need a closer look — repeat PSA, ultrasound, or MRI — before a decision is made.
Findings suspicious for cancer trigger a same-pathway referral to a Urologist for prompt assessment.
If you're insured or paying privately, this referral happens directly and quickly within the private pathway. If you're not going through private care, we can, with your consent, share the findings with your GP so they can refer you onto the NHS two-week wait (2WW) urgent suspected-cancer pathway.
