PSA is a valuable screening marker, but it is not specific to prostate cancer.
PSA can be elevated due to benign prostate enlargement or inflammation, which may lead to additional testing and biopsy even when cancer is not present.PHi (Prostate Health Index) is a blood test designed to improve risk assessment beyond PSA alone.
PHi combines total PSA, free PSA, and p2PSA ([-2]proPSA) into a single score that more accurately estimates the likelihood of prostate cancer—particularly when PSA falls in the commonly encountered “gray zone” (often 4–10 ng/mL).
