if PSA > 40, there is a high chance that there is nodal or metastatic spread; if PSA > 100, there is almost certainly metastatic spread; Note that reference ranges may vary between laboratories Reference: NICE (December 2021) Suspected cancer: recognition and referral; NHS Cancer screening programmes - Prostate Cancer Risk Management
- Assessment | Diagnosis | Prostate cancer | CKS | NICE
A normal PSA level ranges from 0–4 nanograms mL However, the upper level of normal may vary according to age and race PSA testing should not be offered to asymptomatic people Refer the person using a suspected cancer pathway referral (for an appointment within 2 weeks) if their prostate feels malignant on DRE
