Trying to understand PSA a bit more

[Chugach]

I am looking for some literature to get a better understanding of PSA variation among men with similar tumor burden and how important really is a rising value if scans remain relatively stable? For context I talking an increase in the range of +10-15 points/mo with a linear rate of increase.

You have to look at the whole picture.

It all has to do with Gleason score and the individual. For some a small movement in PSA is significant for others it's not. I personally have had my PSA rise to 130 with no findings on my CAT scan or bone scan.

Thanks for sharing the link to the literature, hadn't heard of this guide. Now I have one heading my way.
