In general, a higher <abbr title=\"Prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> level means a poorer prostate cancer prognosis.<\/p>\n<p><abbr title=\"Prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> is a protein made by cells in the prostate. When cancer cells form in the prostate, they tend to make a lot of PSA. Having prostate cancer often causes high levels of <abbr title=\"Prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> in the blood.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re diagnosed with prostate cancer, your <abbr title=\"Prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> level gives your health care provider important information. Your <abbr title=\"Prostate-specific antigen\">PSA<\/abbr> level helps your provider decide how likely it is that the cancer has spread beyond the prostate. It also helps your provider decide how likely it is that your cancer will be cured with treatment. Other clues about your prognosis come from your cancer&#8217;s stage, grade and Gleason score.<\/p>\n<p>If you have prostate cancer and you&#8217;re worried about your prognosis, talk with your provider.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what your PSA level may mean for your prostate cancer prognosis.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1686,74,1685,1682,1684],"class_list":["post-50527","mayo","type-mayo","status-publish","hentry","tag-anatomical-structure","tag-cancer","tag-condition","tag-person-group-concept","tag-theme-of-focus","content_type-answers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Prostate cancer: Does PSA level affect prognosis?
