Urologist tested me for my psa, prostate specific antigen using in doctor's office, the fast pack ip system office analyzer for determining my psa value.This in office psa test was performed, one on the separate occasions, 2 different urologists and 2 different fastpack analyzers.In addition, i also obtained psa values using off site labs, using my va and other health insurance.The psa results are in block 5 of this form.During the first round of testing, the fastpack ip psa results were almost double the 2 traditional lab results.During the second round of test results, the fastpack ip results were again very high compared to the traditional lab results for psa.Possible inflated psa values may lead to inappropriate treatments for low risk prostate cancer.
