You did not need to clarify. The question was for me because it is an enormous difference between a 72, which is extremely high, or 7.2 which is just high.
Have you had any other PSA tests that came back this high? If this is the only one that high did any of your medical providers suggest doing another PSA test to see if correct?

Yes, my initial 72.0 result prompted an order to retest two weeks later. My second test showed "only" 67.2, but still quite concerning. I sometimes forget about the second test result, the 72 is what has stuck in my head, and was the number my urologist referenced in my biopsy order.
