£ 120
Description
A COMPLETE SET OF TESTS THAT CHECK: • Total PSA — the overall concentration of prostate-specific antigen in blood • Free PSA — the fraction of PSA that circulates unbound to proteins • Calculated Ratio (Free / Total PSA) — percentage of free PSA relative to total WHAT THIS TEST SUITE REVEALS: • The likelihood of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) vs prostate cancer — lower free/total ratios suggest higher cancer risk • Helps reduce unnecessary biopsies in men whose total PSA is in a borderline “gray zone” (e.g. 4–10 ng/mL) • Monitor prostate health more precisely by distinguishing benign enlargement vs malignant changes • Guide clinicians in decision-making: whether further imaging, biopsy, or follow-up is warranted • Track changes over time in PSA dynamics and ratio, to detect evolving risk sooner
