psa reading

Hi Tony,
I see from your profile that you are concerned about having PCa. On the face of it your PSA is somewhat high for a man of your age unless there are reasons other than PCa which might well be the case. This could be due entirely or in part due to a urinary infection, enlarged Prostate or PIN which may or may not develop into gradeable cancer or for other reasons. You don't say whether you had symptoms which led to your having a PSA test or what your GP has said as the way forward. Has urine sample been tested because if you have an infection you are likely to be given antibiotics and a subsequent PSA done? You might have your PSA monitored for a time. If a UTI is ruled out you may be referred to a Urologist and have a biopsy and scan.

The process may take some time but don't jump to conclusions. On the basis of the little information you have given and your PSA of 6.2, it is much too early to conclude you have PCa.
