What are the Next Steps if the Prostate Health Index is Elevated?
If the phi score indicates a higher risk of prostate cancer, the next steps may include: 1. Further Testing: Additional tests such as an MRI, targeted biopsy, or repeat PSA testing may be recommended. 2. Consultation with a Specialist: A referral to a urologist for further evaluation and discussion of potential treatment options. 3. Active Surveillance: In some cases, especially if cancer is suspected to be slow-growing, active surveillance may be advised instead of immediate treatment.
