Thank you for your response. You PSA rise could be due to a host of things, 1) BPH 2) Prostate Cancer 3) tissue changes from the laser treatment. Your urologist could suggest several diagnostic options including 1) a saturation biopsy (where more biopsy cores are taken) 2) PCA3 testing (which in several trials has been shown to be a highly specific prostate cancer test) 3) Endorectal MRI.
Best of luck,
