My father age 77 has prostate cancer diagnosed recently.In the month of March his PSA was 9.74 and in May it has risen to 15.94. What does this mean? PL. Suggest whether he should go for any treatment he is slightly apprehensive about the side effects of cancer treatment. Biopsy results show he has adenocarcinoma Gleason scale 4+3=7. As such he has no problem with urine and other things are also normal. Thanks.

His prostate cancer more staging investigations like bone scan and MRI of prostate. If is is localised to prostate then he can be watched carefully with regular psa or if he agrees radical prostatectomy. If it has spread to bones then we remove his testis and start on medication which will stop progression of disease. Kindly get these investigations and revert back.
