PSA After Prostatectomy  Ultima Vez Modificado: 10 de junio del
2007  Share article  Imprima English   Dear OncoLink "Ask The
Experts,"  I had a radical prostatectomy in September 2006. Why
would I have anything but a 0.0 PSA at this time? It's very low
(PSA=0.08) but I'm not clear as to why ANY exists without a
prostate.    We aim for a serum PSA that is <0.1 ng/mL. We do
not panic when a PSA is still detectable after prostatectomy.
There can be benign prostate cells in the pelvis. However, a PSA
that steadily climbs into the 0.2 ng/mL range and higher
warrants a careful evaluation for the presence of recurrent
disease. The adrenal gland can also make a very small amount of
PSA.  Imprima English  I Wish You Knew  Pancreatic Cancer &
