Active search for prostate cancer by PSA testing in GP surgery
Aktivní vyhledávání karcinomu prostaty na základě vyšetření PSA v ordinaci praktického lékaře
Karcinom prostaty (CaP) je velmi závažné onemocnění mužů nad 50 let s vysokou prevalencí v ČR. V ČR se dosud neprovádí standardizovaný screening tohoto onemocnění.V roce 2005 byl v ČR vydán doporučený diagnostický a léčebný postup pro všeobecné praktické lékaře pro sledování onemocnění prostaty. Jednou z možností vyhledávání časných stádií CaP je vyšetření PSA (prostatický specifický antigen). Implementace doporučených postupů k vyhledávání časných stádií CaP v ordinaci praktického lékaře je jednou z alternativ snížení výskytu komplikací CaP v populaci nad 50 let.

Overview
Carcinoma of the prostate is a very serious illness in men above the age of 50 and it is prevalent in the Czech Republic. Up to now there is no standard screening carried out for this illness. One of the possibilities for detecting early stages of CaP is a PSA (prostate specific antigen) examination. Implementation of this recommended examination to detect early stages of CaP in a general practitioner’s surgery is one way in which to reduce complications of CaP in the male population above 50.
Key words:
prostate cancer, PSA (prostate specific antigen), GP surgery.
