Free PSA measurement to help screen for prostate cancer and monitor prostate health.
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate. Elevated levels can indicate prostate problems, especially cancer. PSA testing is useful but imperfect; high PSA doesn't always mean cancer, and some cancers may go undetected. Both total and free PSA levels are important. This test measures FREE PSA; the TOTAL PSA test is available separately, or together with the ratio in the Ultimate PSA Blood Test.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Men over 50 (or over 40 with family history) for PSA prostate screening. Anyone with a family history of cancer who wants baseline marker levels. Cancer patients monitoring treatment response or screening for recurrence. Health-conscious individuals incorporating cancer markers into their annual screening protocol.
What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required for most tumor markers. For PSA testing: avoid ejaculation for 48 hours before the test, avoid vigorous cycling for 48 hours, and don't test during a urinary tract infection — all can temporarily elevate PSA. Inform your provider of any recent medical procedures.
Biomarkers Tested
2Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a protein associated with allergic reactions that is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. IgE functions as part of the body's immune system (its defence against 'intruders').
A protein produced by prostate cells. Elevated PSA can indicate prostate cancer, but also benign prostate enlargement, prostatitis, or recent ejaculation. PSA velocity (rate of change) and PSA density add diagnostic value.
