If your PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test results are abnormal, your Uro-Oncologist will likely recommend further evaluation. This may include:

  • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): A physical examination where the doctor feels the prostate through the rectum to assess its size and consistency.
  • Repeat PSA Test: A follow-up PSA test may be ordered to monitor changes in PSA levels over time.
  • Mri Prostate with PIRADS scoring
  • Biopsy: If other tests suggest prostate cancer, a biopsy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. This involves taking a tissue sample from the prostate for examination under a microscope.

It's important to discuss these options with your Uro-Oncologist and understand the potential risks and benefits of each. The specific course of action will depend on your individual situation, including your age, overall health, and the severity of the abnormality.
