BTW: one flipside of the high sensitivity is that if you have your prostate removed the PSA becomes a fantastic test. I get it once a year and if it's anything other than zero I know I have a problem
I was shocked by it. So many times I've heard that people get diagnosed too late, and here was my father with as early as possible confirmation of spread of his cancer and he was told to wait.
Edit: clarification on the cause of prostate removal.
Is that actually factually always true?
At least two of the men I know have had prostate removed and show occasional PSA spikes, that have stumped their doctor for a decade but has never led to any specific issues concerns problems or actions (other than, yes, anxiety...)
