The PSA-CAP study (NCT06626386) evaluated the feasibility of using capillary blood from fingertip sampling compared with venous blood for PSA determination, in order to facilitate access for PSA testing. This prospective study analysed 196 men aged 40–75 yr. PSA levels were measured from both capillary and venous blood using the same analytical method. The stability of samples stored at room temperature was assessed over a week. Discomfort associated with both collection methods was evaluated using a numerical pain scale. No significant differences were found between capillary and venous PSA measurements. Samples remained stable up to 7 d without immediate centrifugation. Pain scores for capillary (1.52/10) and venous (1.61/10) collections were generally low and not significantly different (<em>p</em> = 0.27). Four cases had insufficient capillary blood for an analysis, and two outliers were resolved upon retesting.
