Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis of Prostate cancer! With the PSA test, most men who do not have prostate cancer have PSA levels under four nanograms per milliliter of blood. The higher the PSA level, the higher the chance of having prostate cancer. Further, if a DRE or PSA test detects an anomaly, you might be recommended further tests to determine if you truly have prostate cancer. Some of these tests are ultrasound, collection of a sample of the prostate tissue, and MRI fusion. These tests can determine how far it has spread and how aggressive it is. There are different treatment options available for the treatment of Prostate cancer depending upon the stage and risk factors of cancer including: radiation therapy Chemotherapy Vaccine Treatment Hormone Therapy Surgery Bone directed treatment I hope the doctor will suggest the best treatment option for your father so that he can recover soon. Best wishes!
