prostate specific antigen
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland in males. This protein circulates in the blood in very small amounts, and its level can increase in the presence of prostate diseases, including prostate cancer. PSA level is often checked through a blood test and it can be an important tool in diagnosing and monitoring potential prostate health issues.
