PSA
(Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein with a sugar molecule attached that is found in prostate cells. It can be detected at a low level in the blood of all adult men. This test is done to screen for prostate cancer and other conditions.

Several conditions besides cancer can cause the PSA level to rise. These include:

  1. Urinary tract infections
  2. Benign prostatic hyperplasia
  3. Prostatitis

Elevated PSA levels may indicate:

  • Benign prostatic hypertrophy
  • Prostate cancer
  • Prostatitis
  • Prostate infection
  • Urinary tract infection
  • Recent urinary catheterization
  • Recent urinary tract operation

You see the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test your doctor does measures the levels of specific proteins released by your prostate.

“Given the potential life saving benefits, too many men are still too hesitant to have the PSA test. Reasons why range from fear, denial or an unwillingness to put themselves through the experience.”

What do I do if my PSA exam comes back showing an elevated PSA?

"Typically those showing a prostate specific antigen test above 4 nanograms per milliliter of blood will be advised to have a biopsy done".

Considerations

  • The American Urologic Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommend that all men have annual PSA tests beginning at age 50.
  • Testing is recommended at an earlier age (age 40 or 45) if you have any of the following risk factors:
    1. African American heritage
    2. Father or brother with prostate cancer.
