Patient's question:
What is the normal value of PSA for a 60-year-old man with a prostate size of 5.0 x 4.9 x 4.5 cm? PSA is 1.060. Is this test result normal?Doctor's answer:
The normal size of the prostate is: the transverse diameter at the upper end of the prostate is about 4 cm, the vertical diameter is about 3 cm, and the anteroposterior diameter is about 2 cm. And 4x3x2cm3. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is an antigen associated with prostate cancer. The PSA concentration in normal serum should be rechecked twice. If the results are the same, other clinical diagnostic tests should be performed. If digital rectal examination, rectal MRI, prostate massage, prostate biopsy, and cystoscopy are performed, the serum PSA level can be significantly elevated. It is recommended to clarify the unit for estimation, or recheck the SPA Elisa method. There are several treatment methods for the prostate.
