Here are the results of a study done in 1998 showing age-specific PSAs for patients who did not have signs of cancer. Thus the following would be considered "normal" ranges:
PSA values for each age group were: 1.7 +/- 1.1 ng/ml for 40–49 years 2.0 +/- 1.2 ng/ml for 50–59 years 2.9 +/- 1.7 ng/ml for 60–69 years 3.5 +/- 2.0 ng/ml for 70–79 years However, there are numerous factors which need to be taken into consideration and are well above my knowlege level. Make an appointment to speak with your doctor ASAP. It is important that they explain exactly what the risk is to you! Chad |
