A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures the level of PSA in the blood, which is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels of PSA can indicate various conditions, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostatitis. However, high PSA levels are not exclusively indicative of cancer, so further evaluation is often required for an accurate diagnosis. This test is commonly used in the screening and monitoring of prostate health.
