May include disease information, patient result explanation, recommendations, or details of testing.
The Roche PSA electrochemiluminescent immunoassay is used. Results obtained with different test methods or kits cannot be used interchangeably. The Roche PSA method is approved for use as an aid in the detection of prostate cancer when used in conjunction with a digital rectal exam in individuals with a prostate age 50 years and older. The Roche PSA is also indicated for the serial measurement of PSA to aid in the prognosis and management of prostate cancer patients. Elevated PSA concentrations can only suggest the presence of prostate cancer until biopsy is performed. PSA concentrations can also be elevated in benign prostatic hyperplasia or inflammatory conditions of the prostate. PSA is generally not elevated in healthy individuals or individuals with nonprostatic carcinoma.
