Navigating the PSA Maze in Urology
Is an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) the beginning or the end of the prostate cancer workup? On this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Ruchika Talwar interviews Dr. Tarik Benidir to explore the “PSA problem,” explaining why PSA is biologically useful but clinically imprecise, often leading to false positives, unnecessary biopsies, and detection of indolent disease. They discuss a rational, patient-centered approach to elevated PSA, including when to repeat the test, how to interpret results in the context of age, race, family history, and prostate size, and the use of PSA density and age-adjusted norms instead of rigid cutoffs.
