System PSA levels of 3 ng/ml or greater are generally accepted to be an indication that further evaluation and consultation with a healthcare professional is warranted.

PRINCIPLES OF THE TEST

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is secreted by the epithelial cells of the acini and ducts in the prostate gland. Normal total PSA concentration in whole blood is 0.1-2.6 ng/ml PSA. Laboratory and medical research studies have determined that elevated levels of PSA is a most useful tumor marker in the preliminary diagnosis of prostate cancers. Normal levels are generally agreed to range up to 3 ng/ml PSA, elevated levels up to 9 ng/ml and levels over 9 ng/ml as extremely abnormal. High PSA levels are not definitive in themselves as a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Other procedures are necessary to confirm a diagnosis including ultrasound and biopsy. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlargement of the prostate is very common in men over fifty and typical symptoms mimic more serious prostatic complications thus necessitating further examination. However, as with most cancers, early detection can greatly improve the successful treatment of the disease and the PSA Screening Test can provide valuable information in that regard.
