The free PSA level can help differentiate between prostate cancer and benign conditions Typically, men with prostate cancer have lower levels of free PSA relative to their total PSA because cancer tends to produce more bound PSA PSA, % FREE: This is the ratio of free PSA to total PSA, expressed as a percentage It is calculated by dividing

The free PSA concentration is divided by the total PSA to derive the free:total ratio The PSA, total and free test provides a free PSA measurement on every specimen, however, because very high or low total PSA measurements are predictive in themselves, a ratio is provided only when the total PSA is in the range of 4 0 to 10 0 ng mL
