- What Is a Normal PSA Level by Age? High Level and Chart
Most research indicates that an increase of 0 75 ng mL a year is an early indicator of prostate cancer if a man has a total PSA result between 4 0 and 10 0 ng mL An increase of 2 0 ng mL over a year predicts a higher likelihood of death due to aggressive prostate cancer PSA velocity may help predict survivability from prostate cancer
- Who’s too old to screen? Prostate cancer in elderly men
Many practitioners have adopted an age threshold of 70 or 75 to stop serum PSA testing and prostate biopsy because they believe that such men are not likely to live another 10 years Furthermore, many urologists have adopted higher serum PSA thresholds or take a less aggressive stance toward biopsy and treatment of prostate cancer in older men

- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by age: What to know
Generally speaking, though, PSA levels for men who are: Age 60 or older: should be at or below 4 0 mg mL; Age 59 or younger: should be at or below 2 5 mg mL; The average PSA for men in the younger group is <1 0 mg mL Why are my PSA levels elevated? Your PSA levels could be elevated for many reasons
- Dr. Roach: PSA tests in men over 75 can place them on a . . .
The average life expectancy of a 75-year-old man is about 11 to 12 years, and cancers in older men tend to be more indolent, which is why 75 is a reasonable time to stop screening
