When screening for prostate cancer, the screening interval can be increased to 5 years for men with an initial serum PSA level of <1 ng/ml, and to 2 years for men with an initial serum PSA level ...

Serum PSA levels vary from man to man and between populations, partly owing to inherited factors, which are thought to account for 40–45% of the variation within the male population.

What is a healthy PSA range? The way to find out your PSA level is to take a blood test. PSA levels usually increase with age, so the older you are the higher you can expect your PSA levels will be.

What is a PSA test? As David James, the director of Prostate Cancer Research, explains, the PSA test measures the levels of a prostate-specific antigen, a protein made by cells within the prostate.

A PSA test measures your blood level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein that your prostate gland produces, to help screen for prostate cancer.

The PSA test is a simple, inexpensive blood test, administered by a primary care or family practice doctor to measure the level of a substance called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which is ...

What's more, the test isn't terribly accurate. At least half of all men whose PSA levels are over 4 don't have cancer. And some men with prostate cancer have perfectly normal PSA readings.

“Checking the PSA level too soon can lead clinicians to mislabel a patient as having recurred and prompt referral to radiation and medical oncologists to initiate salvage radiation and hormonal ...

If 1,000 men get PSA screening (cost: roughly $40), 240 will be told their PSA level suggests cancer might be present. Next step: a biopsy, in which a needle, usually inserted through the rectum ...

Nice will also reconsider its stance on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. Current guidance says GPs should only consider ...

Though PSA levels increase naturally with age, aggressive prostate cancer may be more likely if your levels climb 2 ng/ml or more during a year than if, after an initial rise, they hold steady.
