Overall risk score (0-100)
18.6
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your age and total PSA level (ng/mL) from your most recent blood test.
- Input prostate volume (cc) from ultrasound if available, for PSA density calculation.
- Enter a prior PSA value (ng/mL) and months since that test to calculate PSA velocity.
- Add your free PSA percentage (%) if available — lower values increase cancer suspicion.
- Review Overall risk score (0–100), Estimated cancer probability (%), and Velocity concerning flag to share with your doctor.
How the result changes with Age
| Age | Overall risk score (0-100) |
|---|---|
| 26 | 22 |
| 47 | 22 |
| 71 | 14.6 |
| 92 | 14.6 |
What each input means
- Age
- Your current age in years.
- PSA level (ng/mL)
- Your total PSA blood test result in ng/mL.
- Prostate volume (cc)
- Prostate volume from ultrasound in cubic centimeters (cc). Average is ~30cc.
- Prior PSA (ng/mL)
- Previous PSA result for velocity calculation. Leave 0 if unknown.
- Months since prior test
- Time between the prior and current PSA tests.
- Free PSA (%)
- Percentage of free (unbound) PSA. Lower values raise cancer suspicion.
What each result means
- Overall risk score (0-100)
- Composite risk score combining PSA level, density, velocity, and free PSA.
- Age-normal PSA limit (ng/mL)
- Upper limit of normal PSA for your age group.
- Above age normal? (1=Yes)
- 1 if your PSA exceeds the age-specific reference range.
- PSA density (ng/mL/cc)
- PSA divided by prostate volume. Below 0.15 is generally normal.
- Density normal? (1=Yes)
- 1 if PSA density is below the 0.15 threshold.
- PSA velocity (ng/mL/yr)
- Rate of PSA change per year. Over 0.75 is concerning.
- Velocity concerning? (1=Yes)
- 1 if PSA velocity exceeds 0.75 ng/mL per year.
- Free PSA ratio (%)
- Your free PSA percentage (lower values increase cancer probability).
- Estimated cancer probability (%)
- Approximate cancer probability based on PSA range and free PSA ratio.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersAge = 55, PSA level (ng/mL) = 1.5, Prostate volume (cc) = 30, Prior PSA (ng/mL) = 0 = 6 input(s) provided
- Calculate Overall risk scoreOverall risk score18.6 = 18.6
- Calculate Age-normal PSA limitAge-normal PSA limit3.5 = 3.5
- Calculate Above age normal?Above age normal?0 = 0
