Are There Signs That I Have Prostate Cancer?

I was recently evaluating a patient for an elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) of 5.0 ng/ml with no other medical problems.

Treatment Talk

I had dinner the other night with a friend of mine. He’s in his late 70’s and seemed to be of robust health. During dinner, however, he told me that he’d had some heart problems for years and he had had a PSA of 8 some years back.
