What happens if my results show a risk of cancer?

All results are sent to you AND your GP or referrer, even if you referred yourself. This is so your GP has complete records of any medical procedures you have undertaken.

When your MRI scan shows a low risk of cancer and we recommend PSA surveillance or a visit to your GP, the onus is on you to follow up the treatment recommendation. If your results show a risk of cancer, we communicate directly with your GP by email, asking them to contact you. You also receive a copy of this letter. Your GP will be in touch if your results show a risk of prostate cancer or you may contact your GP immediately when you receive your results. In these circumstances, our Care Coordinator Team will call you and follow up with your GP to ensure you have both received your results and understand that further treatment is important. Once this is confirmed, you and your GP will be responsible for your onward treatment.
