Whether it is cancer or not has nothing to do with how high the total prostate-specific antigen is, and the diagnosis should be based on pathological examination.
Prostate-specific antigen, with organ-specificity, is used as the most sensitive marker for prostate cancer, and is widely used for early diagnosis of prostate cancer, monitoring of treatment response and prognosis.
Although the level of total prostate-specific antigen correlates with the likelihood of cancer, the diagnosis of prostate cancer is not related to the level of total prostate-specific antigen, and cancer cannot be directly diagnosed no matter how high the total prostate-specific antigen is. No matter how high the total prostate-specific antigen is, cancer cannot be diagnosed directly. Other prostate diseases, such as prostate hyperplasia and prostatitis, can cause the index to rise.
If the total prostate-specific antigen is found to be high, more than 10ng/ml, then it is necessary to have further prostate puncture biopsy, and if the pathological examination diagnoses cancer, then it can be said to be suffering from cancer.
If abnormalities are found in the examination, please go to regular hospitals for consultation and treatment to avoid blind worry.
