PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a protein secreted by prostate cells. PSA levels may rise in prostate cancer as well as in benign conditions such as prostatic hyperplasia or prostatitis. It is a widely used marker for prostate cancer screening and monitoring.
The PSA test is valuable for early risk detection, treatment evaluation, and recurrence surveillance.
A venous blood sample is collected to measure serum PSA. Interpretation should be combined with digital rectal examination (DRE), imaging (ultrasound, MRI), and overall clinical evaluation.
Q1: Does high PSA always mean prostate cancer?
A: No. Benign conditions such as prostatitis or hyperplasia can also cause elevations.
Q2: Can PSA alone be used as a prostate cancer screening tool?
A: No. It must be combined with DRE, imaging, and clinical assessment.
Q3: How often should PSA be tested?
A: Men over 50 should generally be tested annually, with high-risk groups advised to test more frequently under medical guidance.
