Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels have been used for detection and surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). However, factors other than PCa—such as genetics—can impact PSA. Here we present ...

Patients with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level are known to have an increased risk of harbouring prostate cancer. 1 However, recent work by Eastham et al. 2 has shown that a ...

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 man's rising PSA level over several years -- viewed as a possible warning sign of prostate cancer -- has come under fire as a screening test because it sometimes prompts biopsies that turn out ...

How do I request one? What are the downsides to taking one? Are there better alternatives? We answer all these questions and more ...

Health officials will review guidance on prostate cancer following concerns that 5,000 men are undergoing needless treatment ...

Declines in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level after treatment with the next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor drug enzalutamide predict improved survival rates in men with non-metastatic ...

A new study shows that combining PSA levels with MRI-derived periprostatic fat measurements improves high-grade prostate ...

However, recent research found prostate cancer in men with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL Some researchers have suggested lowering the PSA cutoff levels.

However, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that PSA levels alone are not definitive for prostate cancer, as some cases occur below 4 ng/mL and many between 4 and 10 ng ...

Previous studies suggest that some common medications alter prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. It remains unclear whether these reported medication effects are due to clinicodemographic factors ...

And so this causes many men that have elevated PSA levels to be falsely elevated -- that is not caused by prostate cancer. In fact, it's wrong 80 percent of the time.
