A PSA total blood test measures the total amount of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a person's blood. The PSA total test is typically used to help diagnose prostate cancer, monitor the effectiveness of prostate cancer treatment, or check for prostate cancer recurrence. It is important to note that elevated PSA levels do not always indicate the presence of prostate cancer, and further testing may be necessary to confirm a diagnosis.
