(FACTVIEW) PSA Rapid Test

The PSA Rapid Test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels can be indicative of prostate cancer or other prostate-related conditions.

The PSA Rapid Test is primarily used for screening and monitoring prostate cancer. It involves collecting a small blood sample, typically through a finger prick or venous blood draw. The sample is then applied to a test device, and the presence of PSA is detected within a short period, often within minutes.
