Praise-U Prostate Cancer Early Detection Pilot Study
Praise-U is an EU-funded study led in Ireland by University College Dublin testing a new risk-based prostate cancer screening approach using home-based finger-prick PSA tests for 5,000–8,000 men aged 50–69 in Dublin and Waterford. The study is currently in progress and aims to reduce prostate cancer mortality through early detection and evaluates the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of organised risk-based prostate cancer testing using the PSA test as part of an early detection pathway.
