Biomarkers included – PSA Test
- Total PSA: Total Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by both cancerous and noncancerous tissue in the prostate gland. It is primarily used as a screening tool to detect inflammation, enlargement, or prostate cancer, as elevated levels can indicate abnormalities within the prostate.
Frequently asked questions – PSA Test
Can PSA levels change for reasons other than prostate cancer?
Yes. PSA levels can be influenced by prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, recent ejaculation, cycling and other prostate related factors.
Should PSA be tested regularly?
Regular PSA testing can be useful for monitoring changes over time, especially as PSA levels may increase with age. A noticeable rise compared with previous results can provide important prostate health context.
Can I reschedule my appointment?
Yes, appointments can be rearranged. Please provide sufficient notice before your scheduled appointment.
What happens if my sample cannot be analysed?
If a sample is unsuitable for analysis, our customer support team will contact you with information about the next steps.
