Raised PSA Evaluation

Raised PSA Evaluation
With Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran, a world-leading prostate cancer specialist
A raised PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level can be concerning and often raises questions about the possibility of prostate cancer. However, it is important to understand that a raised PSA does not necessarily mean cancer is present, and in many cases, it may be related to non-cancerous conditions.
At this stage, the key is not just the result itself, but how it is interpreted. PSA levels can be influenced by a range of factors, and understanding what your result means in the context of your age, symptoms, and overall health is essential in determining the most appropriate next steps.
Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran provides expert assessment of raised PSA levels, carefully reviewing your results alongside any previous tests and clinical information. His approach ensures that any further investigation is recommended only where it is appropriate, helping to avoid unnecessary procedures while ensuring that important findings are not missed.
This structured, specialist-led evaluation allows you to move forward with a clear understanding of your situation and the most appropriate course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a raised PSA mean I have prostate cancer?
No. A raised PSA does not automatically mean prostate cancer is present. In many cases, it is caused by non-cancerous conditions such as prostate enlargement or inflammation. Further assessment is used to understand the cause.
What PSA level is considered high?
There is no single “normal” PSA level. What is considered raised depends on your age, individual baseline, and changes over time. Results are interpreted in context rather than using a fixed cut-off.

Will I need a biopsy if my PSA is raised?
Not necessarily. A biopsy is only recommended in selected cases, usually after further assessment such as repeat PSA testing or MRI. Many patients do not require a biopsy.
Should I repeat my PSA test?
In some cases, yes. PSA levels can fluctuate, so repeating the test may help confirm whether the result is consistently raised before considering further investigation.

What happens after a raised PSA result?
The next step is usually a structured assessment, which may include repeat PSA testing and, where appropriate, MRI imaging. This helps determine whether any further investigation is needed.
Why should I see a specialist for a raised PSA?
Interpreting a raised PSA requires specialist input. An expert review ensures your result is assessed in context, helping to avoid unnecessary tests while ensuring that any significant concerns are properly investigated.
