Regarding % Free PSA —> When PSA is in the gray area - 4.0-10.0 - and MRI results are indeterminate (PIRADS 2 or 3), % Free PSA provides additional information as to the nature of the disease and whether to biopsy.

PSA comes in two forms - attached to certain blood proteins and unattached (i.e., “free”). % Free PSA is the ratio of unattached (“free”) PSA compared to total PSA in the blood. A higher percentage (above 25%) suggests benign conditions like BPH, while a lower percentage (under 15%) indicates increased risk of prostate cancer when total PSA levels are in that borderline range.

Have you already had treatments for prostate cancer? If so, what treatments?
