My blood test shows a raised PSA level! Do I have prostate cancer?
As part of Prostate Cancer Awareness month, I would like to address some common but very important questions relating to prostate cancer. I hope that this will be useful for you. What are the causes of an elevated PSA blood test? Unfortunately, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is not a sensitive blood test for detecting prostate cancer, because a number of benign conditions can result in elevation of PSA levels.
