I have a friend with BPH and his PSA is 10. Urologist ran some blood tests, did digital exam and is not worried that he has PC. I had no idea PSA could be so high with only BPH

I know from research, that BPH ca. cause high PSA and skew results of blood tests. I have also read that Pirads 4 and 5 lesions can be just due to inflammation.
The only niggling thing is the IsoPSA test which was 6.7 and the PHI which was 89.2. Both suggest higher than 50% chance of cancer.
Will be so glad when the biopsy results come back and we have a definitive diagnosis. Oh the waiting is the so nerve wracking!
