2019年6月23日 · The normal range of PSA levels tends to increase as a man ages, with some minor variation between races. High PSA test results will generally give your first indication of prostate cancer, alongside a positive Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) – another prostate cancer test.

PSA levels can be detected in the blood, urine, or semen. Blood PSA testing is used as a screening test for prostate cancer. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by age remain the same across most populations. A PSA level above 4.0 ng/mL in any age group must be investigated.

2024年4月5日 · The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is used to measure blood PSA levels and help detect prostate cancer or other prostate abnormalities.

2023年4月27日 · Results of PSA tests are reported as nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood (ng/mL). There's no specific cutoff point between a normal and an abnormal PSA level. Your doctor might recommend a prostate biopsy based on results of your PSA test.

2024年5月28日 · Based on the results of the tests, the following would typically occur: If the PSA is not elevated and the DRE is normal, the doctor may recommend another screening in a year. If the PSA is elevated but there are no symptoms or abnormalities, the doctor may recommend another PSA test to confirm the results.

In general, a PSA level above 4.0 ng/mL is considered abnormal and may result in a recommendation for prostate biopsy. However, because PSA levels increase with age, some doctors apply a higher cutoff (such as 5 ng/ml) for older men and a lower cutoff ( such as 2.5 ng/mL) for younger men (1).

2024年3月18日 · PSA levels can be measured in the bloodstream, and elevated PSA levels can sometimes be a symptom of prostate cancer. So, this antigen gives doctors a starting point to evaluate your risk of having that disease. But what constitutes a normal PSA level? Why might your PSA levels be elevated?

When should I know the results of a PSA test? You should get the results of your PSA test within a week. A healthcare provider may contact you to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your results.

2023年8月17日 · Experts’ views regarding PSA levels have changed over the years. Previously, PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter) and lower were considered normal. For men with test results showing levels above 4.0 ng/mL, doctors would recommend a prostate biopsy.
