PSA TestingHow Much is Too Much?

of 25 L.

UniMed LLC, Natick, Mass., manufactures a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA); Prostate Cancer Test collection kit that includes a fingertip blood sample stylet, specimen card. The user sends the prepaid mailer to the companys laboratory where it is analyzed using the Tandem PSA method for total PSA. The results are returned by mail.

Craig Medical Distribution, Inc., Vista, Calif., produces another FDA-approved sample collection kit: the PSA4 Screening Test, a quantitative assay for a whole blood sample. As with the UniMed product, a fingertip blood sample is enclosed in a pre-addressed, postage paid mailer and sent to the laboratory where the sample is tested, the results are tabulated in report form, reviewed by a physician and returned within five days.

Given the widespread prevalence of prostate cancer the search for markers more accurate than PSA are now being widely sought. Prior to their availability, PSA testing, while in a far more limited role, will continue to perform useful work.
