How Can Elevated PSA Levels Be Treated?
I am a Prostate cancer survivor that has has surgical removal of Prostate, seminal vesicles and proximal lymph nodes 9 years ago. followed by chemo (with taxotere) and radiation. I was PSA free for 5 years. PSA returened 3 years ago and climbed to 1.0 ug/l after 1 year. I have not monitored it since. I just had my total PSA done on Feb 3, 2017 and the results are 131 ug/l. What should I do immediately?

Hi,
Consult a urologist and get a bone scan and a PET scan done to rule out possible metastasis. Further management will depend on the metastatic workup.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
