The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of prostate cancer in patients who have an elevated referral prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which subsequently falls to within their ...

RESULTS: Phase I: 11 men had a spuriously elevated PSA after curative treatment for prostate cancer (0.3%). Mean time to PSA elevation was 3.4±5.5 years, and mean elevation in PSA was 0.33±0.28 ...

For example, if you are aged between 40-49, a PSA reading of more than 2.5ng/ml may be considered high, while if you are over 70, it would have to be more than 6.5ng/ml.

The Prostate Testing for Cancer and Treatment (ProtecT) trial enrolled only participants who had cancer that was diagnosed after screening revealed an elevated PSA, 77% of whom had disease that ...

The population-based trial, conducted in Sweden, invited men aged 50-60 years to undergo PSA screening. Those with a PSA level of at least 3 ng/mL underwent MRI.

“Elevated PSA blood test means there is some abnormality, the most concerning of which is prostate cancer,” he says. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have cancer.

PSA density is more accurate than routine PSA alone for predicting prostate cancer, if the PSA value is elevated above 4 ng/ml and less than 20 ng/ml. PSA density is calculated by dividing the ...

High or increasing levels of PSA can indicate an increased risk for prostate cancer, but elevated PSA levels can be caused by other things too, such as infections, an enlarged prostate or even ...

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 ...

An elevated PSA is not itself a diagnosis of prostate cancer, and high PSA results can be indicative of other, non-cancerous conditions. But an elevated PSA can indicate the presence of prostate ...
