PSA will be referred to an urologist for biopsy. The biopsy should be carried out using specific IMPACT guidelines (see appendix H of the IMPACT protocol, which is available for download in the restricted section of this website). The urologist will take 10 biopsy cores, plus two extra for research purposes with the patient’s consent. If cancer is detected, treatment will be carried out according to local guidelines.
