PSA

PSA

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is normally present in small amounts in the blood. The PSA test measures its level and is commonly used to help assess prostate health, support the evaluation of prostate-related conditions, and monitor patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer or are undergoing treatment. Elevated PSA levels can occur due to prostate cancer as well as non-cancerous conditions such as benign prostate enlargement or prostatitis, so a PSA result should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional along with symptoms, examination findings, and other diagnostic tests.
