PSA Test measures a substance called Prostate Specific Antigen
Complete instructions are enclosed, and sample collection is extremely easy and virtually painless. A single finger nick using an enclosed lancet is all it takes. Simply deposit a few drops of blood on the collection card and wait 15 minutes for it to dry, place the card in the enclosed postage paid envelope along with your completed Test Request Form, and drop in the nearest US mailbox.
After your sample is analyzed at our laboratory, you will receive an easy-to-read report by return mail that will provide you with important information you and your physician can use to
determine your overall prostate health. Most people find that their results are within normal ranges, but if a serious irregularity is discovered, early detection greatly increases your chances for successful treatment.
This PSA Prostate Cancer Screening Test provides the same clinical results that can be obtained from a local medical laboratory without the high expense and inconvenience of physician appointments, laboratory fees, and often painful and unnecessary procedure of direct venous or arterial blood draws. The test is performed at home, takes less than 10 minutes and results are obtained in approximately the same time as those routinely ordered through a physician.
As men age, they are progressively at higher risk for prostate disease such as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or prostate cancer. This PSA Test will measure the level of prostate specific antigen in the blood and is one of the best methods available for monitoring overall prostate health.
The prostate gland is an important part of the male reproductive system and lies in front of the rectum and just below the bladder. It is about the size of a walnut and produces the liquid part of semen that transports sperm. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland that is measurable in the blood through laboratory analysis. An excess amount of PSA could be an indication of a serious health problem and should be further evaluated by a physician.
The American Urological Association recommends that all men over the age of 40 receive an annual prostate evaluation consisting of a PSA test and a physician ordered digital rectal exam. African American men, and those with a family history of prostate disease, are at a higher risk for prostate cancer and should begin testing even earlier.
