The PSA test is one of the most common tools doctors use to screen for prostate cancer, but what do the results really mean? In this episode, we break down how PSA levels are measured, what can cause them to rise, and the follow-up steps doctors may recommend.

You will learn:

  • What the PSA test measures and why it matters
  • Common reasons for elevated PSA levels besides cancer
  • How age and family history influence PSA results
  • Why doctors may repeat PSA tests before diagnosing
  • The role of digital rectal exams, imaging, and biopsies in follow-up care
