We are a Prostate Cancer Screening Clinic in Nairobi, Kenya. We offer cancer screening to detect the possible presence of prostate cancer before symptoms appear. Early detection through prostate cancer screening is crucial in identifying cancers before they spread.

Individuals with a high probability of developing prostate cancer, particularly those with a family history of the disease, should consider beginning screening in their 40s. Dr. Onyango Oluoch, Urologist, recommends that men aged 40-50 with fathers or siblings who have had prostate cancer undergo early diagnostic testing. If screening results show abnormalities, a biopsy may be necessary to confirm the presence of prostate cancer.

We utilize two commonly used tests to screen for prostate cancer:

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: This blood test measures the level of PSA, a substance made by the prostate, in the blood. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer or other prostate conditions.

Biopsy: This procedure involves taking tissue samples from the prostate gland for microscopic examination. It is the definitive method for confirming a prostate cancer diagnosis and determining the cancer's characteristics.

It is important to understand both the potential benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening. Please feel free to discuss your personal risk factors and any concerns you may have with your doctor.
