| Description | A blood test, called the Prostate Specific Antigen (total PSA) test, has been used to help doctors decide how to manage patients with prostate cancer. Of the different PSA blood tests available, the Hybritech PSA test, was the first approved for the detection of prostate cancer when used in combination with digital rectal examination (DRE) in men aged 50 years or older.
Depending on the results of your DRE and total PSA test, your physician may decide to order an additional blood test, called free PSA. This test is used to help the physician interpret the results when the total PSA test, combined with a non-suspicious DRE, are ambiguous. |
