My psa 7 years ago was 0.3 and repeated 6 month 0.6 ng/dl. DE was questionable but gut feeling suggested biopsy. Two quarters positive I believe 3+3. Surgery (at age 65) found envelope penetration at one point. Urologist felt good about procedure and results (DiVinci). My post initial value in 3 months was <0.08. Abstract. Almost from the time of its discovery, the prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been one of the most accurate and most extensively studied indicators of prostate cancer (PC). Because of advancements in biosensing systems and technology, PSA analysis methods have been substantially updated and enhanced as compared to their first instances. From what I have read many times, the ultrasensitive PSA test is appropriate for men who have had a radical prostatectomy. It usually has an "undetectable" range in which your result is preceded by a "<" sign. That is what you hope to see. The criteria for regular tests and for men who still have a prostate are quite different. Abstract The hypersensitive prostate specific antigen (PSA) test can measure in 0.01 ng/mL units, and its efficacy for screening after radical prostatectomy (RP) has been reported. In this study, we assessed patients who underwent RP to evaluate whether the nadir value affects biochemical recurrence (BCR). PSA at .01 and .02ng are still very low and as noted waiting for another test is the best thing to do, anxiety associated with the waiting and anticipation aside! IMO, Do NOT look for an ultra-sensitive PSA test as it provides no useful diagnostics and only adds to the anxiety when you see that third digit move around. The test is very sensitive and can pick up small changes in PSA levels. Doctors will usually want to know how quickly levels of PSA in the blood are rising. To find this out, a person will need to MUhYr7.
