PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
PSA is a protein produced mainly by prostate epithelial cells and released into blood. Elevated levels can indicate prostate cancer but also benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, recent ejaculation, or prostate manipulation. Rising PSA over time (velocity) and free PSA percentage help distinguish cancer from benign causes and guide biopsy decisions.
