Millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer. But what exactly is cancer and how does it affect the body?...

Q: Newest tests - prostate cancer and PSA

asked by: inquisitor on June 9th, 2009

I've read there is available chemical screening which measures compounds produced by prostate cancer cells. Where can I learn more about these, and how can I assist my doctor in ordering them?

Also read somewhere online that advanced prostate cancer can result in low PSA measurements. Can anyone point me to references online where I can read about this?

Thanks very much!
