Self-pay prostate screening at the Zlín poliklinika collection point. Total PSA is the established blood marker used to screen for prostate problems; free PSA and the advanced proPSA/phi (Prostate Health Index) refine risk assessment and can help reduce unnecessary biopsies. No referral required; payment at the draw.
About this treatment
Prostate cancer risk rises sharply after age 50 and is a leading cause of cancer death in men, so early detection while disease is confined to the gland has real value. Vaše laboratoře offers the relevant blood markers on a self-pay basis.
Markers available
- Total PSA (281 Kč, the default) — prostate-specific antigen, the long-established screening marker. It can be raised by non-cancerous causes too, such as prostate inflammation, urinary infection or an enlarged prostate.
- Free PSA (fPSA, 428 Kč) — the ratio of free to total PSA helps distinguish benign causes from those needing further investigation.
- proPSA / phi (1,728 Kč) — the Prostate Health Index combines total PSA, free PSA and proPSA into a single score that reflects the likelihood of significant cancer and gives information on how aggressive a tumour may be, which can help avoid repeated, sometimes unnecessary, prostate biopsies. This advanced marker is not covered by public insurance and is offered self-pay.

Who is this for?
Prostate screening for men over 50, family-history risk, refining a previously raised PSA before biopsy decisions
Preparation required
Avoid vigorous exercise, cycling and ejaculation for 48 hours before the test, as these can transiently raise PSA. Attend during morning collection hours.
