Medical Conditions - Free Psa

A free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is performed to detect signs of prostate cancer. This test measures the level of PSA (a substance that the prostate gland produces) in the blood. High PSA levels can be an indicator of prostate cancer. But high PSA levels can also be the sign of noncancerous problems such as prostate enlargement and inflammation.
