PSA Consensus 2024 - When should you check PSA levels?
Video description
For the NICE management of male LUTS video:
• • Management of Male LUTS: A NICE Perspective
My name is Fernando Florido, and I am a General Practitioner in the United Kingdom. In this episode, I review the latest guidance on PSA testing as outlined in the PSA Consensus 2024, available through Prostate Cancer UK and also featured in the British Journal of General Practice. I will also discuss recommendations from Public Health England, along with key aspects of the NICE guidelines on prostate cancer (NG12 and NG131) and the Pan London urology cancer referral pathways. You can find links to all of these resources below.
Please note that the content on this channel reflects my professional interpretation/summary of the guidance and that I am in no way affiliated with, employed by or funded/sponsored by any of the institutions.
I am not giving medical advice; this video is intended for health care professionals; it is only my summary and my interpretation of the information consulted. You must always use your clinical judgement.
