Talk That Talk, and Track Your PSA

Your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level is a number that you'll want to know and track throughout your prostate cancer (PC) journey. When you track your PSA levels between tests, you and your urologist or oncologist can discuss any changes to your PSA levels.

If you are referred to a new specialist or doctor for your PC care, always remember to share your medical history. This information can help determine what kind of treatment you'll need.
