Guidelines
for urgent referral of patients with suspected urological cancer-
Macroscopic haematuria in adults
-
Microscopic haematuria in adults over 50 years
-
Swellings in the body of the testis.
-
Palpable renal masses.
-
Solid renal masses found on imaging.
-
An elevated age specific PSA in men with a ten year life expectancy.
-
A high PSA (> 20ng/ml) in men with a clinically malignant prostate or bone pain.
-
Any suspected penile cancer.
PSA testing of asymptomatic men or screening for prostate cancer is not national policy. It is recommended that a PSA test, except in men clinically suspicious of prostate cancer should only be performed after full counselling and provision of written information.
