游離攝護腺特異抗原

Refines prostate cancer risk when PSA is borderline.

About this test

A blood test performed on men that measures the share of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that travels unattached to other proteins. It is worked out from the free and total PSA levels in the same sample.

Helps a doctor assess prostate cancer risk when the total PSA result is borderline. A lower share of free PSA is more often linked with cancer, and a higher share with benign prostate enlargement.

What US screening guidelines say

The US Preventive Services Task Force is an independent US panel whose recommendations cover people without symptoms. Shown for comparison; it is not advice for you.

Selective (grade C)The USPSTF says the decision to undergo periodic PSA-based screening for prostate cancer should be an individual one for men aged 55 to 69 years. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The recommendation states evidence is insufficient that using a prebiopsy risk calculator, with or without free PSA, meaningfully changes the benefits and harms of screening; the USPSTF does not grade free PSA separately, so this file shows the PSA-screening grades. The USPSTF lists an update of this topic as in progress; the 2018 statement remains the current final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer in men 70 years or older.
