Male Cancer Screen – Home
£115.00
The Male Cancer Screen includes a blood test and stool test to provide early insights into 2 of the most important areas of men's overall health:
- Prostate health - assessed via a finger-prick PSA test
- Bowel health - assessed via the qFIT test
Using a blood test and a simple stool sample, it can highlight early changes before symptoms develop.
Early detection plays a crucial role in successful outcomes. The male cancer screen helps you take a proactive, preventative approach to your long-term health.

Why have a Male Cancer Screen?
Some of the most common cancers affecting men, including prostate cancer and bowel cancer, can develop quietly, with few or no early symptoms.
This screen helps you to:
- Check for early indicators of prostate and bowel cancer
- Gain reassurance if your results are within expected ranges
- Identify when further investigations may be appropriate
- Be proactive about your health even if you feel well and have no symptoms
- Make informed decisions about follow-up tests or lifestyle changes
- Stay informed with a simple, preventative health check

What does the test measure?
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
Measuring PSA levels can help:
- Assess your prostate gland health
- Identify changes that may be associated with prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia), inflammation or prostate cancer
- Monitor prostate health over time
Elevated PSA levels do not always mean cancer. Levels can rise for other reasons, including an enlarged prostate or infection.
While the PSA blood test alone cannot diagnose prostate cancer, it is a useful prostate cancer screening tool that can suggest when further investigations may be needed.
qFIT (Quantitative Faecal Immunochemical Test)
The qFIT test detects tiny amounts of blood in your stool that are not visible to the naked eye.
It is used to:
- Screen for early signs linked to bowel cancer
- Detect potential bleeding from the lower digestive tract
- Support early referral to a specialist for further testing, if needed

Who is this test for?
The male cancer screen is suitable for men aged 40+, or younger men with additional cancer risk factors.
This screening may be particularly valuable if you:
- Have a higher risk of prostate cancer or bowel cancer due to a strong family history of these cancers
- Are over 50 and want regular health checks
- Have noticed changes in urination or bowel habits, or have unexplained fatigue
- Would like reassurance even if you feel well
- Prefer a proactive approach to health checks
- Are monitoring your prostate health over time
The male cancer screen is not about assuming the worst. It’s about staying informed, spotting changes early and acting when it matters most.

What this test checks
PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen, which is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland.
A PSA test measures levels of PSA in the blood. Raised levels can be a sign of prostate cancer, but also other prostate problems, such as an enlarged prostate or prostatitis.
qFIT stands for Quantitative Faecal Immunochemical Test. This stool test detects and measures tiny amounts of blood in your stool, which are invisible to the naked eye. It does this by detecting levels of a protein in red blood cells called haemoglobin.
Blood in stool can be a sign of different health conditions, including bowel cancer.
