Testosterone and PSA—A Critical Relationship – Summary:
John P. Mulhall, MD, discusses the results and implications of a study evaluating the relationship between testosterone and PSA levels in men with prostate cancer. He suggests that these findings indicate that in men with documented prostate cancer, the presence of a pretreatment PSA value below 2 should raise questions about a patient’s testosterone level.
