Testing of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) can be useful in discriminating prostate cancer from prostatic hyperplasia when used in the proper situations. This module will: Educate healthcare providers about the use of free PSA testing for assessing prostate cancer risk.
Medicare data suggests that up to 21% of Australian men aged 45–74 choose to have a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test each year, and about 19% of men aged over 74 also undergo testing. While PSA testing helps to identify men with an increased risk of undiagnosed prostate cancer, and can help to diagnose prostate cancers earlier, it can ...
We explain what the prostate is, different types of prostate problems and how the PSA test can help to diagnose them. We also explain the advantages and disadvantages of the test, what the results mean, and what might happen afterwards. Each GP practice or hospital will do things slightly differently.

The PSA test is a blood test that measures the total amount of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced by normal cells in the prostate and also by prostate cancer cells. It is normal for all men to have a small amount of PSA in their blood.
Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is produced by cells in the prostate. It is normal for small amounts of PSA to leak into your blood, and this amount increases as you get older because your prostate naturally gets bigger with age. PSA levels can be detected in your blood if you have a urine infection, but it could also be a sign of prostate ...
