Details

This test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood, which is a protein made by the prostate gland. Higher levels can sometimes indicate prostate cancer, but can also be caused by other conditions like an enlarged prostate or infection. The test also calculates the percentage of free PSA, which can better assess the risk of prostate cancer.
