Overview
Preparation

PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels can be a sign of prostate cancer, though they can also rise due to benign conditions like an enlarged prostate (BPH) or prostatitis. This test is used to screen for prostate conditions and monitor prostate cancer treatment.
