what is a normal reading taking a psa test for a man 74 years old
If by PSA you're referring to prostate-specific antigen, a level of 3.5 would be considered within the normal range.
If your DRE is normal and your PSA is 4.9, it sounds like you have healthy prostate function. After age 50, normal PSA range is 5 - 7. Is cancer likely is difficult to determine. For now you appear to have a healthy prostate. You should have a DRE every year, and a PSA test every other year as long as your tests and scores remain normal for your age.
A PSA level of 4.66 ng/mL may be considered elevated for a 65-year-old man. However, PSA levels can be influenced by various factors, including age and prostate size. It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to determine if additional tests or monitoring are necessary.
less than 2.1
Is a PSA of 7 in a 58 yr old man ok
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, a reading of 4.5 or less is normal.
The normal prostate specific antigen levels that can be found for a person who is of 65 years of age or older are like 0 to 4.5 and having 4 is very normal to have a PAS level at the age of 65.
PSA is just one indicator of prostate cancer. It is possible to have prostate cancer and have a normal PSA reading.
I have a PSA of 3.7 down from 5.1 an internal in June 2013 and March 2014 reveal no abnormalities . I have been on Cardura 4mg since June 2014. Would it be reasonable to expect the cessation of this medication. I am 67 yrs old
PSA is just one indicator of prostate health. It can be very high and a man will not necessarily have prostate cancer. One the other hand, it can be at a normal level and cancer may still be present. It is no guarantee one way or the other.
