Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the fact that you have posted you seem to have undergone surgery of Prostatectomy probably for cancer of Prostate and your PSA has been 0.001 since then for last 10 years and it is 0.1 during this year .
This is very very negligible raise and not to be worried at all .
The recurrence of cancer will always reflect by sudden spike of PSA (more than double or even triple digit).
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
