Prostate

Specific Antigen (PSA) Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced in the prostate gland in males. It is used to screen for prostate cancer, as PSA levels that are higher than normal may suggest that a person has prostate cancer. PSA testing is conducted as part of a physical examination and is an important tool in diagnosing and managing prostate cancer, as well as other prostate-related conditions. It is also used to monitor the progress of treatments for prostate cancer, such as radiation therapy or hormone therapy. PSA testing is a safe and reliable way to detect potential prostate cancer and should be done regularly to ensure that any potential issues are addressed in a timely manner.
