Is elevated total prostate-specific antigen indicative of prostate cancer?

Patient's question:

Health check report says the total prostate-specific antigen is 13.92 units higher, is it prostate cancer?

Doctor's answer:

This situation cannot yet be confirmed as prostate cancer. Further careful examination is needed to clarify the diagnosis. You can go to the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination. It is best to have a color Doppler ultrasound. If there are issues, a biopsy is necessary. The biopsy is the only gold standard for confirming cancer. It is absolutely crucial not to be careless. Prostate problems can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
