Form of the test?
editFollowing a cystoscopy my consultant suggested that I undergo a PSA test in six week's time. This article does not explain the format of the test. Blood test? Urine test? test of my semen? I wish I'd thought of asking him, but I don't think I am the only one who would like to know!

Specifically, I propose that Amoeba or hookworm larva or similar organisms produce many compounds that would affect PSA testing.

- example.
