If you've had your PSA level checked, you may have been told that your results were "normal" or "abnormal." However, some men would like to know more about what their PSA level means. Results tPSA sensitivities ranged from 0.78 to 1.00 and specificities from 0.06 to 0.66. Positive likelihood ratios ranged from 0.83 to 2.90 and negative likelihood ratios ranged from 0.00 to 3.75 Conclusion tPSA has a role to play as one of several indicators for prostate biopsy along with abnormal digital rectal examination and urinary symptoms. While the PSA test has saved lives - it can help pick up cancer even before you have symptoms - its accuracy is far from perfect.

This tests for the presence of a specific protein called the prostate-specific antigen. While all men have some PSA, higher levels may indicate the presence of cancer.
