An Elevated Level of Prostate-Specific Antigen _______

Question

An elevated level of prostate-specific antigen _______.
A) increases testosterone
B) is associated with sterility
C) stimulates semen production
D) is associated with prostate cancer

Accepted Answer

An elevated level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is associated with prostate cancer. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and can be detected through a blood test. High levels of PSA can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, but it can also be caused by other factors such as an enlarged prostate or inflammation. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if you have elevated PSA levels.
