PSA
Free awareness spot
PSA is the standard abbreviation for prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland.
Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer, though other conditions can also raise them: His PSA came back high, so they scheduled a biopsy.
PSA also stands for public service announcement—a message broadcast in the public interest: The PSA about drunk driving ran during the Super Bowl.
In informal speech, people use PSA to preface helpful information they want to share: PSA: the coffee shop on Main Street closes early on Sundays.
