Learn from prostate cancer experts the most up to date information on PSA Testing.

In Australia, one man dies of prostate cancer every 3 hours, yet this disease can be effectively treated if diagnosed early. 

As GPs it can be very hard to tread the fine line between screening to detect and cure aggressive cancers and over diagnosing or overtreating indolent cancers.

Join us for an informative and interactive evening where we provide you with the most up to date information on PSA testing. We want this to be relevant for you and your patients and so we invite you to this Q and A style presentation and ask that you submit your burning questions or concerns beforehand and any case studies you may wish to discuss during the evening.

This program is suitable for all General Practitioners regardless of their experience or where they practice.


Presented by Dr Jane Crowe, General Practitioner & Dr Ben Thomas, Consultant Urologist.
