About the Test

This PSA test measures the levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood, which may be elevated due to prostate cancer. Prostate screening tests that detect high levels of PSA can also indicate other conditions like enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis). PSA levels in men increase with age. If your PSA levels are elevated, it’s important to discuss your test results with a healthcare provider.

Buy your own PSA test online with Quest. No doctor’s visit is required – simply purchase your prostate screening, visit a nearby Quest® location for sample collection, and get fast results.
