What is a PSA Test?
PSA stands for Prostate‐Specific Antigen. It’s a protein made by both normal and malignant cells in the prostate gland. A PSA blood test measures the level of this antigen. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer—but also benign prostate conditions. It’s not a definitive test, but it’s a powerful tool.
