Since prostate cancer often is slow growing, there are easy methods to screen for this cancer . In fact, statistics show that one in 9 men develop prostate cancer during their lifetime. In addition, one in 41 men will die of prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society and the American Urologic Association (AUA) recommends the following guidelines for screening with PSA blood tests and exam:All men between ages 55-69If you have a family history of prostate cancer and African American men should begin screening as early as 40-45 years of ageWhat is PSA?
PSA stands for”prostate-specific antigen”. To clarify, PSA is a blood test that measures a prostate-specific protein produced the the prostate. It is NOT cancer specific in itself.What are some of the causes of an elevated PSA?
An elevated PSA does not necessarily mean you have prostate cancer. On the other hand, a low PSA doesn’t necessarily mean that you are cancer free. In other words, doctors use PSA as a screening test to identify early cases of prostate cancer. For example, very low testosterone levels can mask an elevated PSA level.BPH, a non-cancerous, enlarged prostate or benign prostate hypertrophy, commonly causes a high PSA
Infection or inflammation can increase PSA levels
Also, your PSA can be slightly elevated if you just had sex
Even a long bike ride prior to the blood test can cause an elevated PSA
Therefore, PSA is only a screening procedure. Therefore, PSA leven must be taken in context of a comprehensive physician exam and interpreted by an experienced physician.
