Suggest Treatment For Elevated Prostate Specific Antigen

Age 53

6'4"

195 lbs.

Only health concern has been elevated P.S.A.

Have a cyst on my chest (right ont the sternum) --for 2 years now. At that time, the doctor told me not to worry about it. However, for the past six months or so have had a burning sensation just beneath surface of skin a few inches above it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The elevated PSA can be from various issues as prostate inflammation, tumor or else. I would recommend a digital rectal examination with your consultant surgeon for the same and manage accordingly.
* For the soft tissue lesion in form of cyst over chest, I recommend to undergo excision surgery on day care basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
