PSA test in Urologica Clinic
About the clinic
The PSA test is a blood screening tool used to check for prostate-specific antigen levels at Urologica Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. This diagnostic helps identify potential prostate issues and typically serves as a key marker for urological health monitoring. The clinic operates under JCI accreditation and ISO 9001 certification, which confirms that diagnostic protocols meet international safety and management standards.
Prostate Health Screening Details
The examination measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen circulating in the blood. This protein is produced by both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue in the prostate. The diagnostic process at Urologica Clinic includes:
- Blood draw. A simple venipuncture is used to collect the sample for laboratory analysis.
- Tumor marker detection. The test acts as a primary indicator for urological cancers and other prostate diseases.
- Combined assessment. Medical protocols often combine the PSA test with a digital rectal examination for a more detailed evaluation.
- Early detection focus. Screening is recommended starting at age 50 for most men.
- High-risk screening. Men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin testing at age 45.
Urologica Clinic follows evidence-based diagnostic protocols to monitor prostate health. The laboratory results provide the data needed to track changes in the prostate over time. Patients can request a consultation to arrange their screening through Bookimed.

Urological Oncology and Kidney Cancer Care
The oncology department treats kidney, bladder, and prostate cancers. For kidney cancer, the clinic reports a 90% cure rate for early-stage (T1–T2) tumors. Surgeons perform partial nephrectomy to spare healthy tissue when possible.
Treatment follows a multidisciplinary approach. The surgical team coordinates with medical oncology, radiation oncology, and pathology specialists. Kidney cancer patients typically stay 3–5 days. Full return to normal activities usually takes 4–6 weeks.
For bladder cancer, the clinic offers several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures:
- TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor)
- Fluorescence cystoscopy for precise tumor detection
- Radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive disease
- Intravesical chemotherapy and BCG therapy
Advanced imaging supports diagnostic accuracy. The clinic uses MR-fusion biopsy for prostate cancer. This technology combines MRI scans with real-time ultrasound for precise tissue sampling.
Male Sexual Health and BPH Treatments
Urologica specializes in treating erectile dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The clinic uses HoLEP technology for enlarged prostates of all sizes. This holmium laser technique separates the adenoma from the capsule without external incisions.
HoLEP requires just 1–2 days in hospital. The clinic reports a recurrence risk below 1%. Other BPH options include GreenLight laser vaporization and TURP.
For male sexual health, the clinic specializes in 3-piece inflatable penile implants. These implants provide a natural appearance and sensation. Brands include Boston Scientific, Coloplast, and Rigicon. A four-stage recovery plan guides patients from surgery to implant activation at 6 weeks.
Technologies and Diagnostic Equipment
The surgical suites support robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic procedures. The team uses the Da Vinci Robotic System for complex urological surgeries. This allows smaller incisions and faster recovery.
Diagnostic capabilities include:
- Urodynamics to assess bladder and urethral function
- Color Doppler ultrasound of the scrotum
- Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)
- Narrow band imaging (NBI) for cystoscopy
The clinic also offers non-surgical therapies. These include P-Shot (Priapus Shot) and shock wave therapy (ESWT) for vascular-related erectile dysfunction.
