FAQs

What do the results mean?

Prostate specific Antigen (PSA) levels vary with age. A total PSA level higher than 10.0 µg/L can indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer. This test can be taken to help investigate a diagnosis of prostate cancer and monitor a patient’s response to medication.

What can affect my results?

A recent prostate biopsy or any invasive operation can elevate PSA levels. Other factors including ejaculation, vigorous physical activity or a recent digital rectal examination can all raise PSA levels so the test must be taken before or well after these events.
