How do you know if you have prostate cancer?
First get a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test. This will indicate if there is an abnormality in your PSA level. A high PSA level, above 6 can indicate a benign enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. If the PSA level is high, your doctor will recommend a biopsy or MRI scan. This will determine the presence of cancer cells if you have prostate cancer.

Normal PSA Levels?
In men over 40 years of age, is common for doctors performing blood tests on their patients to examine Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) levels. PSA is a protein produced by the male prostate gland. If the PSA level is above certain levels, or has shown to be getting progressively higher over a number of tests conducted over a period of time, it serves as a warning sign of either prostate cancer or other noncancerous prostatic diseases. A normal PSA level does not completely rule out the possibility of prostate cancer. Many doctors are of the opinion that any male who lives long enough will eventually develop prostate cancer, but that it may not necessarily be the cause of death. Given the somewhat vague nature of the results supplied by PSA testing, it is also necessary to consider adding a colonoscopy to the equation along with occasional digital prostate exams. The PSA test, however, is a popular diagnostic tool, since it is noninvasive in nature. Knowing normal PSA levels will assist a personal care physician in determining a patient's prostate cancer risk when other factors, such as family history are included. A PSA level of below four ng/ml (nanogram/milliliter) is often used as the basis to eliminate concern about the risk of prostate cancer, even though this level does not completely eliminate the possibility. A PSA level below four combined with a digital examination that indicates normal prostate size means that there is only a 15% chance of prostate cancer being present. This increases to 25% for PSA levels between four and 10. Anything above 10 represents an increase to 67%. Some experts in the area of PSA levels promote using lower numbers, less than 2.5 or 3.0 ng/ml to represent normal values. This is particularly applicable to younger patients who have not experienced the normal prostate gland the enlargement that accompanies advancing age. Equally important to the PSA number is the trend of that number. Is it going up, how quickly, over what period of time? These are questions doctors will consider on a patient by patient basis?
