Order PSA Free & Total Blood Test from JustLabs for $18 ($36 all-in for a single-test order: $18 + one $18 lab & physician order fee per order). Price includes lab processing at Quest Diagnostics. No insurance required.
This enhanced PSA panel measures both total PSA and free PSA, calculating the free PSA percentage. This ratio helps distinguish prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia when total PSA is elevated.
The Free & Total PSA test provides more information than total PSA alone. PSA circulates in two forms: "free" (unbound) and "complexed" (bound to proteins). The percentage of free PSA can help distinguish between prostate cancer and benign conditions when total PSA is elevated (typically 4-10 ng/mL—the "gray zone").
Prostate cancer tends to produce more complexed PSA, resulting in a lower percentage of free PSA. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) typically has a higher percentage of free PSA. This distinction can help avoid unnecessary biopsies in men with elevated total PSA from benign causes.
This test is most useful when total PSA is in the 4-10 ng/mL range, where the free PSA ratio provides the most diagnostic value.

What's Measured
What This Test Measures
This test measures: (1) Total PSA in ng/mL, (2) Free PSA in ng/mL, and (3) Free PSA percentage (free PSA ÷ total PSA × 100). All three values are important for interpretation.
Who Should Consider This Test
Men with elevated total PSA (especially 4-10 ng/mL), those wanting more detailed prostate assessment, men trying to avoid unnecessary biopsy, anyone with borderline PSA results, and those monitoring known prostate conditions.

Understanding Your Results
The free PSA ratio interpretation: >25% free PSA suggests BPH (low cancer risk), 10-25% is intermediate, <10% suggests higher cancer risk. However, these are guidelines—clinical context matters. A low percentage doesn't confirm cancer, and a high percentage doesn't exclude it.
