Serum PSA values >4.0 ng/ml are routinely used to select patients for prostate biopsy, although this approach misses some early-stage cancers. Some researchers advocate dropping the PSA threshold to 2 ...

Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, although PSA levels are also elevated in some non-malignant conditions, which affects the ...

Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be ...

It seems logical that if a man's prostate-specific antigen levels are rising quickly enough, even if the PSA itself is within the normal range, he should be checked out for cancer. A new study, ...
