Very good evening doctors. my psa was 1.20 in 2020. it was 1.32 in march, 2022. is this considered to be a significant increase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good evening to you too. No. PSA can be variable in that range. Also depends on the size and growth of the prostate. So if you have no family history of prostate cancer get a yearly prostate and PSA done by your Urologist.

Good afternoon doctors. I asked the earlier PSA question. My PSA is 1.32. In mid 2020 it was 1.20. Urologist found a lump on my prostate during a digital examination. Since to me PSA seems within normal range, how likely is it I have prostate cancer?
