Rapid rise in PSA to over 10

Posted by vincenzo66 @vincenzo66, Oct 4, 2025

I know further diagnostics are required and I have an MRI scheduled but I’d be interested in hearing from a similar circumstance.
I’ve traditionally had higher PSA of between 2-4. I even had a biopsy done in 2013 which was negative.
I had labs a month ago which showed a PSA of 4.8. Since it’s gotten back under 4 in the past a month later we just decided to recheck. Unfortunately this time it rose to 10.7 - in a month. I don’t see many similar stories - anyone with insight? All the best. Of course concerned.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I hope you just have an infection that antibiotics can knock out!

An MRI doesn't always detect prostate cancer. I've had 3 or 4 MRIs done over the last several years. All have come out as PI-RADS score one which is as good as you can get. My doctor did biopsies anyway due to my rising PSA, currently 9.8 and found cancer. I am having the RARP procedure next Tuesday.

Good luck!
