Listen Later

An elevated PSA can be scary—but it doesn’t always mean prostate cancer. In this episode of UroPatient, hosted by Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, we break down exactly what a high PSA means and what steps come next.

If you’ve recently been told your PSA is elevated, this video will help you understand your options, reduce anxiety, and make informed decisions about your care.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) really measures
  • Common causes of elevated PSA (not just cancer)
  • When to repeat the test—and why it matters
  • The role of free PSA, PSA density, and PSA velocity
  • When imaging like MRI may be recommended
  • When a prostate biopsy is necessary
  • Questions you should ask your healthcare provider

An elevated PSA is a signal—not a diagnosis. Understanding the next steps can help you avoid unnecessary procedures while still catching important conditions early.
