Received the following in a UC Berkeley Health Alert two days ago. I told my doc, at age 72, I plan to forego any further psa tests after the next one. "Most experts agree that people with a life expectancy of 10 years or less don't need routine screening for cancer. One problem is that overscreening can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
PSA claimed to 0.22. Had 39 radiation treatments to my prostate bed. Again stayed undetectable. 2 years later it started climbing again. Currently at 0.63. Watching and waiting. My doctor does not want to start me on hormone therapy too soon because of all of the side effects. I get tested every 3 months and I am 70 years old.
A rise in PSA levels after surgery can indicate the presence of residual or recurrent prostate cancer. In your case, the increase in PSA from 0.01 to 0.04 ng/mL over a period of 3 months is considered a biochemical recurrence. It's important to note that PSA levels can fluctuate slightly due to various factors, so it's essential to monitor the ...

T2 tumor also. I then had.006 PSA for 9 months and then it began to rise incrementally. When it hit .131 about 6 weeks ago my team suggested a PSMA scan and to start thinking of radiation including lymph nodes plus 4 months of ADT. Well this week my PSA is now .0130 and my PSMA was clean, although I realize it can be early on the scan.
His PSA (using BL Roche method) was 2.6 (2015),2.8(2016), 2.8(2017) and 3.99 (2018). Before 2015, the PSA screening is Total PSA and his level was 1.6 (2012), 2.4 (2013) and 2.1(2014). I sent a note to the primary doctor two years ago when his PSA was at 2.8 but the primary doctor said it was normal for his age so we did not follow up.
Jan 25, 2017 • 1:14 PM (edited Feb 10) Hello. I am a 46 year old man and recently was informed by my doctor that my PSA level went from a 1.1 in July of 2015 to a 3.7 in September of 2016. I wasn't informed of the situation until January 2017 due to a miscommunication in the docrtors office. Anyway. That was last week.
A PSA level that exceeds 4.0 ng/mL is generally considered cause for concern in men over 65, the population most likely to undergo PSA screening. Levels exceeding 2.5 ng/mL would raise red flags for men between the ages of 40 to 50. Was diagnosed with prostate cancer 4 years ago. Had brachytherapy and PSA levels have been below 1 since then.
