A member asked:
My father age 48 recently had psa level 71 ng/ml , had problem in urination, is it cancer is it curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: A PSA of 71 ng/ml is markedly elevated and in that range is usually related to prostate cancer or a recent urinary tract infection/prostatitis. Benign enlargement of the prostate (BPH) is most common cause of an elevated PSA but, by itself, would not cause that degree of PSA elevation. If prostate cancer is the cause, PSA alone does not accurately predict curability. Urology evaluation needed.
