A member asked:

53 y/o white historically low psa in the past 0.1 to 0.3. last psa 1/2014 was 0.2. does historically low psa lower future cancer risk. i take lipitor (atorvastatin) ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PSA: Although PSA is a sensitive indicator for prostate cancer, the prostate exam findings (size/nodules), rate of rise of the PSA, and %free PSA are other important considerations. You probably have a smaller prostate in my experience with those #'s, but not unusual for your younger age either. Keep doing the prostate checks!
