- Blood test: If a patient has an enlarged prostate, inflammation, or prostate cancer, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in their serum will increase significantly.
- Ultrasound and biopsy: Ultrasound waves are used to trace images through the rectum or perineum to measure the size of the prostate. Cell samples can also be extracted under image guidance for further testing.
- Pelvic magnetic resonance: Using magnetic resonance to image images can more accurately assess the location of prostate cancer and provide a reference for biopsy.
If the patient is confirmed to have prostate cancer, the doctor may need to perform other tests on the patient, including: an magnetic resonance, bone scan and/or PSMA positron scan.
