Common reasons doctors order this test
What the PSA test measures
What this test measures
PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a protein made by cells of the prostate gland, measured in the blood in ng/mL. Most PSA in the blood is bound to other proteins and a small part circulates freely. A raised PSA can have causes other than cancer, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis. The ratio of free to total PSA can help to tell cancer from benign causes.
Who this test is commonly ordered for
Commonly ordered for
PSA screening is a shared decision between a patient and a doctor. Doctors commonly discuss or order PSA for men considering prostate screening, for men with a close relative who has had prostate cancer, and to monitor men who have or have had prostate cancer. A doctor can advise whether this test is appropriate for you and how often to repeat it.
