This is the first psa report 2 months after radiation and I am still in use Lupron. I search the internet and could not find the symbol "<^". What is the difference between <^ and just <?
Thanks

Andy, I don't know, but at least wanted to let you know that someone was reading your post. Hopefully it means that the treatment is working. What does your doc say?

I've not heard of that notation. I'd call your doctor's office or the lab and ask. Feels like typo somewhere.

Looks like a typo to me as well. If not, please educate us.

I will ask my doctor and let you guys know the result. I do not think this is a typo because I have seen some other report also typed like this.

This may be helpful.

On my Testosterone lab results I have the symbol " < "

Testosterone . . . . . . <3
My nurse called it negative 3
The lab report called it "out of range".
