Hi Micahgoss,

Certainly, just upload them and will look at it. I would appreciate if you could write a few words on any symptoms that prompted you to have these tests performed.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I’ve attached the reports here. I had my total psa , free psa and then the calculated psa free antigen ratio. The ratio came back very low and is concerning as a bio marker. From my understanding the low ratio is an indicator of cancer. I don’t have symptoms but do experience frequent urination or what feels like a small bladder

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,

A low ratio may suggest prostate cancer if the free PSA is moderately increased, which it is not in your case (where it is normal). Therefore, there is nothing in your test results that indicate that you should have prostate cancer.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.
