Hi Rocon, If you mean the prostate screening episwitch test (psa test), it is not available as it is in early stage development and has been trialed on very few men.

Hi, OK, read up on this as well and found it's still early days on the pse testing. Thanks.
Hello Rocon
Thanks for your post. I see that you have sent us an email enquiry asking this and hope you don't mind receiving a similar reply again.
The Prostate Screening EpiSwitch (PSE) test looked promising in a study done in 147 men. However, more research is needed to fully understand if it will be a useful test to have.
I looked to see if there are currently any clinical trials running looking at the the PSE test that you could join but I am afraid that I cannot find any.
If you have not already seen it you may find the information about this test from Prostate Cancer UK useful to read, you can see it on their website here.
For more information about the tests currently in use to diagnose prostate cancer please look on our website here.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
