  • PSA test after TURPor laser procedures.

    From DerekF@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 5 11:32:11 2015
    I had a follow up visit to the urology nurse two years after my
    Holmium/Thulium laser procedure. She suggested that I was overdue to
    have another PSA test. I said that it was not needed as 37 grams of
    tissue was sent to the histology lab and came back clear.
    She said that was tissue from the middle of the gland and that cancer
    cells grow inwards from the outside. A Google search confirms that.
    Are others here continuing to have PSA tests after prostate surgery?

    I had a turp a few years ago and get PSA tests done every year.

    I just had my annual visit to my uro last week, and he pointed out I
    had neglected to have the PSA done. So went and had that done
    yesterday.

    Regardless of what your prostate situation was a year or two ago, it
    could change.
