What are the Next Steps if PSA Levels are Elevated?
If a PSA test shows elevated levels, the next steps may include:
Repeat PSA Test: Sometimes a second test is done to confirm the initial result. Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): A DRE can help detect abnormalities in the prostate. Biopsy: If cancer is suspected, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Imaging Tests: MRI or CT scans may be used for further evaluation.
