A New and Better Prostate Cancer Test: The Stockholm3 – now on MeditSimple
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, leading to around 12,000 deaths in the UK annually.
Many men are familiar with the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test, but while it is a common first step, it often requires frequent retesting and doesn’t always provide a clear diagnosis. This is where the Stockholm3 test comes in—a new, better, and more reliable option for men aged 45–75.
Why Choose the Stockholm3 Test?
The Stockholm3 test is a simple blood test that goes beyond what PSA testing can offer. It combines genetic markers, proteins, and clinical data in an algorithm to deliver a more precise and accurate assessment of prostate cancer risk. Here are some compelling reasons why this new test is the preferred choice:
- More Reliable Than PSA: Unlike the PSA test, which can sometimes give inconclusive results, the Stockholm3 test has been scientifically validated as more accurate. It reduces the need for repeat tests, giving you peace of mind.
- Long-Term Assurance: If your Stockholm3 results indicate a low risk, you won’t need to be retested for six years, minimising the disruption and worry of regular monitoring.
How Does the Test Work?
The process is straightforward and designed with your convenience in mind:
- Initial PSA Test: If your PSA level is above 1.5 ng/ml, it’s recommended to proceed with the Stockholm3 test.
- Stockholm3 Analysis: This test gives a much clearer picture of your prostate health by using a combination of genetic markers, proteins, and other relevant data.
- Low Risk (0-3): No need for another test for six years.
- Normal Risk (4-10): Testing won’t be needed for two years.
- High Risk (11-99): Follow-up with a urologist will be recommended for further evaluation.
What Makes Stockholm3 the Better Prostate Cancer Test?
Choosing the Stockholm3 test offers several benefits:
- Accurate and Fast Results: You’ll receive your results within two weeks, including a review from a GP.
- Fewer Tests Needed: PSA tests often need repeating, whereas the Stockholm3 gives you long-term confidence.
- Research-Backed Reliability: The test has been rigorously validated in studies involving over 90,000 men, with results published in leading medical journals. Click here for the NICE report for Stockholm3.
