The prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein secreted in the semen by the prostate. A part of this protein is found in the blood.
The PSA level in blood gives an indication of the physiological condition of the prostate. Checking the normality of the PSA value is a very good tool for verifying prostate health status and eventually taking the required preventive actions. In case of cancer, early detection and prevention can be life saving.
This test is recommended regularly for men, particularly those between 45 and 75 years old.
