Hi, your prostate specific antigen level is slightly high. But there are many other cause of high psa. Its does not mean that it is cancerous all time. Many other conditions like acute or chronic prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia etc can lead to high prostate specific antigen. So you should notworry for cancer. Your biopsy Iis nornormal . Consult your doctor and take treatment of other conditions after investigate. Dont worry just be relaxed.
