Prostate cancer screening of asymptomatic men is not recommended by the National 
Screening Council at present and is not encouraged in the NHS. A number of 
randomised controlled trials are under way to establish the place of routine 
screening of asymptomatic men. We report the possible practice of prostate 
cancer screening with reference to the appropriate age range for screening, how 
to screen for prostate cancer and how often, and what constitutes an abnormal 
result that would merit referral to a urologist for a prostate biopsy.
