Ferritin Levels and PC

Hi Harry, yes it's surprising serum ferritin isn't mentioned on the forum, as your right PCa can increase serum ferritin levels, but there's also a strong correlation between high SF levels and higher Gleason and PSA results, so not only is it associated with more aggressive/advanced PCa, some studies point to SF can aid the spread of cancer cells

I have a very high ferritin level.

This is depressing...

My friend there are other causes for elevated SF levels, so my apologies I thought your question related to a post prostate cancer diagnosis.

Eddie,

No problem.

This is why posted this. To get more insight. I'm hoping it is for other causes in my case. 

Since my current PSA 7.8 is somewhat low, I hope my high ferritin is for something else. 

I can't answer that my friend, but your PSA is low, so a benign diagnosis is just as likely and if not such a low PSA, is a strong indication of early detection, so curable
