Thanks for your response but I need to correct one thing in your post for others reading this. Prostate cancer is definitely not the only thing that raises PSA. This is from 6 of my doctors over 15 years, 3 GP's and 3 urologists respectively. In addition, the literature on this is robust. UTI's are the best understood cause for this elevation but there are other "suspects" as well. PSA usually has an "idle" setting in most men, particularly men over 50. Large prostates often, even usually, produce more PSA. It is exactly because of the often random behavior of PSA levels that further testing is required.
