Can your PSA level be normal, but you still have prostate cancer?

Research from a study at University College London called Re-Imagine has shown that MRI can detect prostate cancers in men with a normal PSA, which would otherwise not be diagnosed.The study found that a Prostate MRI offers the opportunity to identify significant prostate cancer in men whose PSA is normal for their age. Data from the study group showed that a high-quality biparametric MRI scan picked up significant cancer in 1 in 6 men. Some of these men had a PSA of less than 3ng/ml and would not have been eligible for further investigations under current NHS guidelines.
