About PSA / Prostate-Specific Antigen
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland. PSA is present in small quantities in the serum of normal men, and is often elevated in the presence of prostate cancer and other prostate disorders. A blood test to measure PSA is condered the most effective test currently available for the early detection of prostate cancer, but this effectiveness has also been questioned.
The shelf life of PSA 8312 extended from 12 to 36 months!
