Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a common screening test used for detecting prostate cancer. From Harvard Medical School “Prostate Knowledge” webpage. Is PSA reliable? Although PSA testing can help catch prostate cancer at an early stage, having an elevated PSA (generally considered more than 4 ng/ml) doesn’t necessarily mean that a man has cancer. Noncancerous conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, and prostatitis, can raise PSA levels. In fact, studies have shown that about 75% of...

What are the metastatic sites for Prostate cancer?
Jon Doe a 60-year-old male, was diagnosed with prostate carcinoma 15 months ago. At that time, he underwent a radical prostatectomy and was found to have disease confined to the prostate. Before surgery, his prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 25 ng/ml (normal <3.0). At a regular follow-up exam Mr. Doe's only complaint was mild backache, which he attributed to strain. His PSA was found to be 100 mg/ml and a CT scan...
