Question:

“My husband had radical prostatectomy in 2000. PSA levels remained below .001 until last week; now he has a level of 11.4. What is most likely cause?”

Answer:

“A PSA that has gone above 0.4 after radical prostatectomy is a concerning sign and may represent a cancer that has returned. Your husband needs to be evaluated by a urologist as soon as possible. Thank you.”
