Hi all:
Below is a list of web sites with interesting info regarding PSA levels.
It comes from a US blog.
Take care,

The answer to question 3 on the National Cancer Institute's fact sheet addresses PSA levels:
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/detection/PSA

There are many factors that can affect PSA levels.  For a list of many of them see the "Factors Affecting PSA" section of this page:
http://palpable-prostate.blogspot.ca/2007/05/psa-screening-and-early-detection-part_14.html
(Based on the information there in the absence of the other factors a PSA of 1.5 ng/ml would be a normal level for a prostate of 22 cubic
centimeters.)

The American Cancer Society summarizes what is known about reducing your risk for prostate cancer on this page:
