Why would a PSA score go from <.1 to <.2 5 years after a radical prostatec!


Question:
The doctor said it occasionally happens and not to worry about it, but his response was internally inconsistent and he seemed evasive, so I became uncomfortable.
Answers:
the way its written <.1 and <.25 may just be the lab and that is the lowest level that they measure with the test they use

Other Answers:
reasonable response actually, and just as it doesn't sit well with you, it doesn't with us.

Proabably nothing. Known to increase with age over time. Your increase is quite small.

Cannot say I see a real big cause for concern.

Low amounts of residual PSA may still be present. Amounts this small can vary from test to test. As long as they stay small, even if inconsitently small, you are probably fine.
