&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Ultrasensitive test in serum is a highly sensitive diagnostic tool used to detect very low levels of PSA in the bloodstream. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels can indicate various prostate conditions, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;This test is particularly useful for monitoring prostate cancer patients after treatment, as it can detect small changes in PSA levels that may indicate cancer recurrence. It is also used for early detection of prostate cancer in men who are at higher risk due to factors such as age, family history, or ethnicity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The PSA Ultrasensitive test involves a simple blood draw, with results typically available within a few days. It is essential in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, such as digital rectal exams (DRE) and prostate biopsies, to provide a comprehensive assessment of prostate health. However, it&#39;s important to note that while the PSA Ultrasensitive test is highly sensitive, it may also yield false positives or false negatives, necessitating further clinical evaluation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Regular monitoring with PSA testing helps healthcare providers evaluate prostate health and determine appropriate management strategies based on individual risk factors and test results. It remains a critical component in the early detection and ongoing management of prostate cancer worldwide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS IT USED FOR?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;- Assisting in prostate cancer detection alongside a digital rectal exam for men aged 50 and older.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;- Supporting the assessment and treatment of individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;- Monitoring post-radical prostatectomy disease progression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;- This test is not suitable for initial prostate cancer screening purposes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
