About test
What does PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA) measure?
This test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced mainly by prostate tissue. It may be used to help evaluate prostate health, investigate changes in PSA levels, support assessment of prostate-related conditions, or monitor individuals after treatment for prostate disease. PSA results can be influenced by several non-cancerous and cancerous conditions, so they are interpreted along with medical history, examination findings, and other tests.
