Testing Service

A confidential, quantitative
diagnostic test performed at home for determining elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels.
High blood serum PSA readings have been confirmed and validated as a significant
marker for abnormal prostate function including malignant cancerous tumors. A
PSA level blood screen plus a digital palpitation examination is recommended for
all men aged fifty and older as part of the routine physical examination.

INTENDED
USE:
The
PSA Laboratory (Prostate Specific Antigen) Screening test is a
quantitative laboratory screening test to identify PSA system levels in whole blood. System PSA
levels of 3 ng/ml or greater are generally accepted to be an indication that
further evaluation and consultation with a healthcare professional is warranted.
The PSA Laboratory Prostate Cancer Screening Test provides the same clinical
results that can be obtained from a local medical laboratory without the high
expense and inconvenience of physician appointments, laboratory fees, and often
painful and unnecessary procedure of direct venous or arterial blood draws. The
test is performed at home, takes less than 10 minutes and results are obtained
in approximately the same time as those routinely ordered through a physician.

PRINCIPLES
OF THE TEST
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is secreted by the
epithelial cells of the acini and ducts in the prostate gland. Normal total PSA
concentration in whole blood is 0.1-2.6 ng/ml PSA. Laboratory
and medical research studies have determined
that elevated levels of PSA is a most useful tumor marker in the preliminary
diagnosis of prostate cancers. Normal levels are
generally agreed to range up to 3
ng/ml PSA, elevated levels up to 9 ng/ml and
levels over 9 ng/ml as extremely abnormal. High PSA
levels are not definitive in themselves as a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Other
procedures are necessary to confirm a diagnosis including ultrasound and biopsy.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlargement of the prostate is very common
in men over fifty and typical symptoms mimic more serious prostatic
complications thus necessitating further examination. However, as with most
cancers, early detection can greatly improve the successful treatment of the
disease and the PSA Screening Test can provide valuable information in that
regard.
