Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test measures the level of PSA in the blood, which can be elevated in men with prostate cancer. While it is not a perfect screening test and can yield false positives or false negatives, it is currently one of the most commonly used tests for early detection of prostate cancer. CBC (complete blood count) and CA125 (cancer antigen 125) are not specific to prostate cancer, and BRCA1 is a gene associated with increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer, not prostate cancer.
