PSA, Post Prostatectomy:
Coupon Codes not valid for this testing.
Fasting Required: No
Lab: Quest Diagnostics Specimen: Blood
Results: Average processing time 3-5 days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Collection Instructions: Draw before rectal exam or biopsy procedure.
Limitations: Heterophil antibodies may produce falsely-elevated results.
Description: For post-prostatectomy patients. The lower limit of accurate quantification for this assay is 0.02 ng/mL. PSA values less than 0.02 ng/mL cannot be accurately measured and will be reported as less than 0.02 ng/mL. Specimens with PSA levels below the lower limit of accurate quantification should be considered as negative. In patients with a negative result for post-prostatectomy PSA, serial monitoring of PSA levels at regular intervals, along with physical examinations and other tests, may help to detect recurrent prostate cancer.
