About test
What does Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Total measure?
The PSA Total test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by prostate tissue. It may be used to help assess prostate health, support evaluation of symptoms such as urinary changes, monitor known prostate conditions, or follow response after treatment. PSA levels can be affected by several non-cancerous and cancer-related conditions, so results are interpreted along with medical history, examination findings, and other tests.
