Hi, Thanks for writing in. The PSA level is an indicator for possibility of prostate cancer. However, there are additional reasons for having an elevated PSA level, and some men who have prostate cancer do not have elevated PSA. It can be elevated in conditions like infection of the prostate. Repeating the test is necessary for your husband. Most men with an elevated PSA level turn out not to have prostate cancer; only about 25 percent of men who have a prostate biopsy due to an elevated PSA level actually have prostate cancer.
