Supporting you for over 50 years
STUDIES INDICATE that the incidence of prostate cancer in Jamaica is one of the highest in the world and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. With that in mind, it is inevitable that many persons have loved ones who are affected. Screening for prostate cancer allows early diagnosis, and with treatment the morbidity and mortality of the disease can be significantly reduced.
Biomedical Caledonia Laboratory has provided support to physicians for over 50 years, and since the introduction of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test has offered diagnostic and post-treatment follow-up testing for prostate cancer. Along with the digital rectal examination (DRE), the PSA is presently the best method available for screening in Jamaica. Further, the free PSA (FPSA) test increases the specificity of PSA for cancer detection.
