Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate cells. It is normally present in small quantities in the semen ejaculate of men with healthy prostates. However, elevated levels are observed in cases of prostate cancer or other prostate related diseases such as prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia. PSA liquefies the semen in the seminal coagulum and allows sperm to swim freely. It is also believed to dissolve the cervical mucus, allowing the entry of sperm into the uterus. PSA tests involve measuring of the PSA amount in the blood sample of patients.

The global PSA testing market is categorized on the basis of the following clinical tests:
Prostate-specific antigen values
Free prostate-specific antigen assays
Complexed prostate-specific antigen assays
Prostate-specific antigen reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assays
