Elevated PSA is associated with decreased physical function in men with prostate cancerClayton S RobinsonDarpan I PatelInternational Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Previous research has shown that aberrant sphingolipid metabolism, which is evidenced by elevated levels of circulating ceramide, is associated with poor prognosis in patients with prostate cancer (PC). Work at the University of Adelaide has led to the establishment of a new syngeneic mouse model to...
Blood test (to detect a substance calledPSA,prostate-specific antigen)—It is important to understand that the test is not perfect. Many men with mildly elevated PSA levels can have noncancerous prostate enlargement, which is a normal part of aging, whereas men with prostate cancer may have n...
Schenk-Braat and Bangma (2006) noted that PSA is currently the most important biochemical marker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Because of the limited specificity of PSA, clinically irrelevant tumors and benign abnormalities are also detected that can potentially lead to over-treatment and th...
WebMD's slideshow covers prostate cancer: who's at risk, symptoms, tests, staging, treatments, survival, and foods that may help lower your risk for prostate cancer.
DRE should not be used as a stand-alone test for detection of prostate cancer but should be performed in men with an elevated PSA. The NCCN also notes that DRE may be considered as a baseline test in all patients, as it may help identify high-grade cancers associated with a normal PSA...

PSA testing isn't perfect. It's possible to have an elevated PSA level even if you don't have prostate cancer. For instance, benign prostate enlargement or prostate infection can cause elevated PSA levels, as well. And some kinds of prostate cancer don't make much PSA. So, it's possibl...
Several conditions can lead to an elevated PSA level, not just prostate cancer.2 As men grow older, many are affected by prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate) that can...
