Question

what type of screening uses the psa blood test? a impotency b eclampsia c prostatic cancer d gonadotropins

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

PSA (prostate - specific antigen) is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland. Elevated levels of PSA in the blood can be an indication of prostate cancer, although other non - cancerous prostate conditions can also cause an increase. Impotency is related to sexual function and not directly to PSA. Eclampsia is a serious condition in pregnancy. Gonadotropins are hormones related to the gonads (testes and ovaries) and not specifically related to PSA testing for screening.

Answer:

C. prostatic cancer
