Start from a symptom

Something was found. Here is what usually happens next.

Many people first meet a urologist because of a test result rather than a diagnosis. These pages explain what each finding can mean, starting with the common and usually benign causes, what the evaluation usually involves, and when to seek care sooner.

Elevated PSA

A high PSA is common and often not cancer. What can raise it, the usual next steps from repeat testing to MRI and biopsy, and when to seek care urgently.

Kidney mass on a scan

Many kidney masses are found by chance and many are benign or slow growing. What a mass or cyst can mean, the usual work-up, and when to seek care urgently.

These pages are general education. They cannot tell you what your own result means; your care team can.
