As I see your PSA history as follows
2025- PSA 2.06
3/2026 PSA 3.98
4/2026 PSA 2.60
It is to soon to identify any pattern but I would definitely get another PSA next month. If you knew your PSA’s prior to 2025 that would be helpful. If your next PSA is up again, I would inquire about an Epi Switch PSE blood test. Totally non invasive except for a regular blood draw. This was new technology not available to me. I had a ExoDx non invasive urine test. Improvement’s in new technology is always out to benefit patients. If your PSA is up, definitely get to a good urologist at this point because if it is up, and the PSE reflects higher risk, then you probably will want an mpMRI.
Here was my history which actually one Oncologist told me that I could not have prostate cancer because your PSA does not drop only keeps rising.
2013-2020 PSA 1.7 to 1.9
10/20 PSA 1.9
11/21 PSA 3.0
02/22 PSA 2.5
04/22 PSA 2.3
10/22 PSA 3.2
12/22 PSA 4.0
01/23 PSA 2.9 Free PSA 13
06/23 PSA 3.4 Free PSA 8
08/23 PSA 4.1 Free PSA 9
09/23 PSA 3.0 Free PSA 10
01/24 PSA 3.3

What would happen each time we were discussing doing something then my PSA would drop again. Also at my age late 68-70 then , PSA was in range. My argument was always my PSA was stable for years until this up, down, down, up, up, down, up, up, down. During this time my urologist added the Free PSA and the ExoDx (their is newer and better technology today) which came back high and we all agreed MpMri was up next and as they say the rest is history.

@wheel1
Thank you. My PSA trend:
2019 1.1
2020 1.0
2021 2.1
2022 3.1
2023 1.9
2024 2.2
2025 2.06
March 2026 3.98
April 2026 2.6 with *free PSA 0.26 & *% free PSA 10%
I have another PSA scheduled for July. I will inquire about a Urologist and send over these results. I would rather go ahead and get it checked out if possible. That free PSA concerns me.
