The most common screening tool for prostate cancer is the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. This blood test measures the number of antigens present in the bloodstream. Elevated levels can indicate a possible issue. Your doctor will use your PSA results to determine how often you should be screened and whether additional screening methods are required.

To schedule your next PSA test, make an appointment at an RUHS Community Health Center. Call 1-800-720-9553 or visit ruhealth.org.

La herramienta de detección más común para el cáncer de próstata es la prueba del antígeno prostático específico (PSA, por sus siglas en inglés). Este análisis de sangre mide la cantidad de antígenos presentes en la corriente sanguínea. Unos niveles elevados pueden indicar un posible problema. Su médico utilizará los resultados de la prueba de PSA para determinar con qué frecuencia debe someterse a pruebas de detección y si se requieren métodos de detección adicionales.

Para programar su próxima prueba de PSA, haga una cita en un Centro de Salud Comunitario de RUHS. Llame al 1-800-720-9553 o visite ruhealth.org.
