Hello My Psa Had Been In The Low 1’s With
Question: Hello
My psa had been in the low 1’s with my most recent reading @ 1.09 10 months ago and 1.44 18 months ago. I had a pirad score of 4 last summer with a subsequent targeted/mapping biopsy(30 cores) last August that showed normal tissue. The reason for mri was a mildly elevated k score in March 2019 and symptoms(frequency). I’m in otherwise good health and not engaged in any activity that might provoke the increase except sex 60 hours prior to test. What is the probability of cancer and mspc?
Thank you! XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Your risk is low because of recent biopsies
Detailed Answer:
Hi again XXXXXXX
It is true that increases should raise suspicion. However, you recently had biopsies, so the risk of cancer is very low. A DRE would not inform on much, since you also recently had one. A new PSA in a weeks to months can help guide further actions; if it decreases, fine, if it increases, new biopsies or an MRI could be relevant.
