Referral Criteria Prostate Cancer
General practitioners and specialists can refer men with an elevated risk of prostate cancer to us.
Criteria:
- Asymptomatic men with an elevated serum PSA and a minimum life expectancy of >10 years.
- Men who are at increased risk of prostate cancer based on a family history, African descent, and/or BRCA1/2 mutation.
- Symptomatic men (urinary symptoms) with an elevated serum PSA. These men should be referred to our Center if, in two separate measurements with a 6-week interval, the PSA is elevated.
At the NKI Center for Early Diagnostics we do not examine men with urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please refer to the NHG guidelines.
General practitioners can refer to our Center via ZorgDomein, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek or AVL Centrum voor Vroegdiagnostiek.
