Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a tissue marker and not a tumor marker. When ordered for the right situation, i.e. when the clinical presentation is compatible with prostatic cancer, PSA assay can be a remarkable tool for early diagnosis and beneficial therapeutic care. IN PATIENTS OVER 70: A PSA assay is not necessarily indicated for men over 70 years of age unless digital exploration of the prostate or other signs suggest prostatic disease. IN PATIENTS UNDER 70: In patients whose life expectancy is greater than 10 to 15 years, serum PSA above the laboratory's upper limit for normal is an indication for ultrasonographic exploration of the prostate with systematic biopsy.
前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）是一种组织标志物而非肿瘤标志物。在合适的情况下进行检测，即当临床表现与前列腺癌相符时，PSA检测可成为早期诊断和有益治疗护理的重要工具。70岁以上患者：对于70岁以上男性，除非前列腺指诊或其他体征提示前列腺疾病，否则不一定需要进行PSA检测。70岁以下患者：对于预期寿命超过10至15年的患者，血清PSA高于实验室正常上限是进行前列腺超声检查并系统性活检的指征。
