PSA testing also plays a crucial role in monitoring patients who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer. In cases where the patient is deemed cancer-free, their PSA levels should decrease to within the normal range. Following radical prostatectomy (removal of the entire prostate), PSA levels...
The PSA screening blood test measures the levels of PSA circulating in the blood. Both normal prostate cells and cancer cells make PSA. While prostate cancer cells tend to produce less PSA than normal cells, they allow PSA to more easily pass through the cell wall and eventually wind up in...
In this lesson, we will learn about the prostate gland in males. We will briefly discuss prostate cancer and review how to screen for prostate...
Myth: PSA test results will show you whether your levels of PSA are elevated or normal Many people are not clear about what a PSA test really shows. "I often hear from friends that the result of their PSA test was negative," Dr. Vickers says. "But the PSA test result is not like ...
"Studying 1000 men, researchers found that about 1/2 of those who had a high PSA level, had normal results in the 2nd test." He goes on to say the problem with most second tests (where the levels remained the same) is that they are usually performed too soon after the first test. ...
PSA test results in a highly negative biopsy rate, but the combination of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and PSA tests provides a good performance-efficiency-diagnostic model to improve the net benefit and reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies. PSA alone in the gray zone is not appropriate for...
RESULTS. In total, 66 adult men between 26 and 64 years of age were tested. Across the concentration range of normal (0.3 g/L) to pathological (314 g/L), the results between CBS and venous samples were highly comparable and correlated (r = 0.997). The average bias was 0.112 g/L or...

Being born with a larger-than-normal prostate A PSA in the range of 4-10 nanograms per milliliter is linked to a 25% chance of prostate cancer. Most people with a PSA below 4 nanograms per milliliter don't have prostate cancer, but there's no guarantee. Sometimes, even people with ...
