What is Your Score?

Know your Score?

Prostate-specific antigen(PSA) is a substance made by cells in the prostate gland and is mostly found in semen, but a small amount found in blood. Most healthy men have levels under 4 ng/mL. The chance of having prostate cancer goes up as the PSA levels go up.
