How common is prostate cancer in men with an elevated PSA level?

Men can have prostate cancer even if they have a normal PSA level. But cancer is more likely with an elevated PSA level. When PSA levels are:

  • Below 4: 15% chance of prostate cancer.
  • Between 4 and 10 (the borderline range): 25% chance of prostate cancer.
  • Above 10: More than 50% chance of having prostate cancer.
