How much does Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)* cost at Wimpole Street?

£82 — the standard price that applies to everyone. There is no discounted members’ tier at Wimpole Street and nothing to join. Where a venous draw is needed, a phlebotomy fee is shown on the page before you book and is charged once per visit however many tests are taken.

Are tumour marker tests available to under-16s?

Medical services at Wimpole Street are for patients aged 16 and over. Any concern about cancer in a child or young person should go directly to their NHS GP, who can arrange urgent specialist referral.

Who sees my tumour marker result?

Only you, via the secure portal; nobody at the clinic interprets it. Results are strictly confidential except where disclosure is required by law. If a result needs follow-up, you can download the report and share it with your NHS GP or specialist.

Can a tumour marker blood test tell me whether I have cancer?

No single marker can do that. Levels rise in many non-cancerous conditions and stay normal in a proportion of people who do have cancer. Markers are most useful for monitoring known disease or adding information to imaging. If you have symptoms that worry you, a clinical assessment is the right first step.

Should I have a PSA test?

PSA can help to identify prostate cancer earlier but also produces false alarms and can detect slow-growing cancers that would never cause harm. UK guidance recommends an informed discussion before testing. The report will explain your value in context, and the nurse can provide information to help you decide.

What is the Stockholm3 test?

Stockholm3 combines PSA with other protein markers, a panel of genetic variants and clinical information such as age and family history to produce a risk score for clinically significant prostate cancer. It is intended to reduce unnecessary biopsies compared with PSA alone and is interpreted by a clinician.

How long do tumour marker results take?

PSA, CEA, CA 125, CA 19-9 and AFP are typically reported within one to two working days of reaching the laboratory. Less common markers and the Stockholm3 test take longer, sometimes two weeks or more. The laboratory report is released to your secure portal with reference ranges.

What Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)* measures

Laboratories file the Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)* under PSA test, prostate cancer screening and blood test for prostate. The following sections set out how a tumour markers test of this kind is measured and read.

Tumour markers are substances — usually proteins — that can be produced in larger amounts by certain cancers, or by the body in response to them. Examples include PSA for the prostate, CA 125 for the ovary, CEA for the bowel, CA 19-9 for the pancreas, AFP and hCG for the liver and germ cells, and calcitonin or thyroglobulin for the thyroid. Newer approaches such as the Stockholm3 prostate test combine several markers with genetic and clinical data into a single risk score.

Preparing for your Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)*

1For PSA, avoid ejaculation, vigorous cycling and prostate examination for 48 hours beforehand, and delay the test if you have a urinary infection.
2No fasting is required for most markers.
3Tell the nurse about any recent surgery, biopsy or inflammatory illness, all of which can raise several markers temporarily.

Sample for this test: venous blood sample (serum).

Who considers Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)*

People often consider tumour marker tests if they have already been treated for a cancer and are monitoring for recurrence under specialist guidance.
Men with urinary symptoms or a family history of prostate cancer commonly ask about PSA after discussing the pros and cons.
Those with persistent bloating and pelvic discomfort may have CA 125 requested as part of an assessment.
A specialist may recommend a marker to help characterise an abnormality already found on imaging.
Some people request markers as part of a broad health check; these tests are not designed for that purpose, and the limitations are explained below.

Understanding your Prostate Specific Antigen (Total) (Venous)* results

A raised tumour marker can indicate cancer but very frequently reflects benign causes — inflammation, infection, endometriosis, liver disease or smoking — and a normal value does not exclude cancer. Markers are most informative when tracked over time in someone with a known diagnosis, where a rising trend can suggest recurrence earlier than symptoms. Any elevation is flagged on the laboratory report and should be taken promptly to your GP or a clinician for assessment and, usually, imaging.

Tumour markers are not a screening test for cancer in people without symptoms; they are used alongside clinical assessment and imaging, and a result is not a diagnosis.
