What is a psa count of 6?
PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. The prostate is constantly renewing itself or growing. At the same time, the body is producing antigens to try to destroy the prostate as if it were a foreign body. The faster the prostate produces new cells, the faster the body produces PSA.. If there is a cancer in the prostate, the cancer cells are prostate cells, but they are produced much faster than normal prostate cells. As a result, when the man has prostate cancer, it can be detected by measuring his PSA. The PSA reading must be compared to the individual's normal PSA reading to know whether he has prostate cancer. When a prostate cancer is being treated, the PSA reading can be compared to earlier PSA readings to determine whether the cancer is receding or growing. A PSA of 6 is rather high and probably indicates there is prostate cancer growth.
Will prostate cancer show up on a normal blood test?
Prostate cancer typically does not show up on a standard blood test. However, a specific blood test called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test can indicate elevated levels of PSA, which may suggest prostate issues, including cancer. Elevated PSA levels are not definitive for cancer, as they can also result from benign conditions. Therefore, further testing is usually required for an accurate diagnosis.
Is there a correlation between prostate cancer and prostate hypertrophy?
