Brief Answer:
Hello. He requires biopsy to confirm the disease

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. A raised psa gives suspicion of prostate cancer. A biopsy of prostate is required to confirm the disease. Then an MRI or a pet scan can be done to stage the disease.. If it is early stage, then no treatment is required. If advanced, then hormonal treatment can be done. Life expectancy will be normal.
Thanks and regards
