Note:-

1. Actual values will defer from reagent based tests.
2. Free PSA Ratio:
   f-PSA/PSA > 25 % is usually associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
   f-PSA/PSA < 10 % is usually associated with Prostatic Cancer.
   Relevant only if PSA elevated.
3. Serum ferritin is a non-specific tumor marker, increased levels also seen in inflammation, liver cirrhosis, early stage of heart attack, repeated blood transfusion and excess iron in the blood.
4. What if my tumor marker tests are Negative?
   Of course, it's a good news, but you must always remain vigilant. Not all cancers can be detected by tumor markers, some are detected by imaging (eg. 64-slice MSCT) or endoscopy (eg. gastroscopy).
5. What if my tumor marker tests are Positive?
   This does not necessarily mean that you have a cancer. If your reading is above normal, consultation from doctor is highly recommended.
