The
prostate gland is an important part of the male reproductive system and
lies just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It's about the
size of a walnut and produces prostatic fluid which (the liquid part of
semen) transports sperm. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein
produced by the prostate gland that is measurable in the blood through
laboratory analysis. An excessive amount of PSA could be an indication
of a serious health problem and should be further evaluated by a
physician.
As men age, they
are progressively at higher risk for prostate disease such as Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. This PSA Test will
measure the level of prostate specific antigen in the blood and is one
of the best methods available for monitoring overall prostate health.
The American Urological Association recommends that all men over the age
of 40 receive an annual prostate evaluation consisting of a PSA test
and a digital rectal exam. However, African American men and those with a
family history of prostate cancer should begin testing even earlier.
The PSA Prostate
Cancer Screening Test provides the same results that can be obtained
from your local medical laboratory without the high cost and
inconvenience of doctors appointments, laboratory fees, and often
painful and unnecessary procedure of direct venous or arterial blood
draws. This test is conveniently performed at home, takes less than ten
minutes, and results are obtained in approximately the same time as
those routinely ordered through a physician.
Complete
instructions are enclosed, and sample collection is quite easy and
virtually painless. A single finger nick using the enclosed lancet is all
it takes to obtain the sample needed. Simply deposit the drops of blood
on the collection card and wait 15 minutes for it to dry. Then place the
card in the enclosed postage paid return envelope along with your completed Laboratory Authorization Form, and drop in the nearest US mailbox.
After your sample
is analyzed at the Laboratory, you will receive a report by return mail
that clearly indicate if the test is normal or a follow up with a health care provider is needed. Early detection of irregularities greatly increases your
chances for successful treatment.
Expect to receive your test results within two weeks from when your test is received by the Laboratory.
