I'm 71 yrs, male ; 73 kg weight ; 1, 70 mt height and my psa iresult is 5.7 , what's the risk of getting cancer.

Impossible to know: We would need more information such as what your other psa test results are; what your prostate feels like; what other symptoms may be related and what the biopsy and ultrasound show. There is no good answer to just pick out a risk for cancer from one number.
