At Suyeong Cheongdam, PSA results are available the same day, and prostate biopsy — when needed — is performed with same-day discharge, so the process is efficient. If cancer is confirmed, referral to a specialist centre is prompt, with records in English.
A clear, step-by-step pathway — with same-day testing wherever possible, and kind, attentive care.
A prostate-specific antigen level, with results the same day, interpreted against age and prostate size.
A prostate exam and ultrasound assess for nodules and other concerning features.
If PSA or imaging is suspicious, a targeted biopsy — with same-day discharge — obtains tissue to confirm or exclude cancer.
Results are explained plainly, with prompt referral to a cancer centre if needed.
A raised PSA does not mean cancer — it rises with BPH, prostatitis and age too — so it is interpreted in context rather than causing alarm. When a biopsy is genuinely warranted, having it done with same-day discharge keeps the process efficient for patients travelling to Busan.
Screening here is efficient and honest: same-day PSA, same-day-discharge biopsy when warranted, and prompt referral with English records if cancer is found. It is led by a board-certified urologist and certified urologic-ultrasound subspecialist, so imaging and interpretation are in experienced hands.
No — PSA rises with BPH, prostatitis and age. It is a screening signal that guides whether further tests, including biopsy, are needed.

No — prostate biopsy is performed with same-day discharge here, so you go home the same day.
We explain the findings clearly and refer you promptly to a specialist cancer centre, with your records and imaging in English.
