What Does PSA Of 3.07 And Velocity Of .65 Indicate?
Question: Hi, I am a 54 year old man with a PSA of 3.07and a velocity (over 2 years) of .65. Is this something to be very concerned about?
Brief Answer:
NO
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
This PSA level is totally normal and there is really nothing to get worried about. I am wondering why you are doing repeated PSA levels? Are there any risk factors that make your chances f developing this cancer particularly high?
Current evidence is controversial and tends to discourage aggressive and repeated PSA assays as they lead to over diagnosis, over treatment and huge consequences in the name of cancer of the prostate with very little benefits to the overall patient population.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
