- PSA Velocity and PSA Density in Prostate Cancer Evaluation . . .
PSA velocity means how quickly the PSA level rises over time Doctors calculate PSA velocity by comparing PSA results from multiple tests over a period (usually at least 3 PSA tests over 18–24 months) cancer ca It is measured in nanograms per milliliter per year (ng mL per year) In general, PSA naturally goes up a little as men get older
- PSA Velocity and Doubling Time in Diagnosis and Prognosis of . . .
Cancer is a growth process and it is natural that we should be concerned with how the routinely used marker of prostate cancer tumour burden – PSA – changes over time Such change is measured by PSA velocity or PSA doubling time, described in

PSA Velocity (PSAV) is the rate of change over at least 18 months PSA Doubling Time (PSADT) is the time it takes for a PSA level to double, and a nomogram can be helpful
