PSA Jump - brief rise and then fall in the level of PSA (prostate specific antigen) in the blood that occurs in some patients 1-3 years after radiation treatment for prostate cancer. PSA jump does not mean the cancer has returned. It can be caused by the release of PSA from destroyed cancer cells or from normal prostate tissue that has been exposed to radiation treatment
