2.3.1 Timeframe for referring to a specialist

Urgent referral is recommended for:

  • symptomatic patients (including psychological distress)
  • radiological evidence of locally advanced or metastatic disease
  • PSA > 50 ng/mL.

Asymptomatic patients should be seen by a specialist within 4 weeks of a persistently abnormal PSA result or a single PSA reading ≥ 10 ng/mL.
