Another test is done on a blood sample to determine the level of a protein (prostate-specific antigen or PSA) produced by prostate cells. The PSA test may indicate a person has a higher chance of having prostate cancer but controversies about the test exist (see following slide). The patien...
a PSA over 10 nanograms per milliliter is linked to a 50% chance of prostate cancer. And the higher your PSA climbs above this level, the greater your chances of having prostate cancer. But again, a high PSA test result doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer. Your PSA level climbs ...
