can spriva cause psa to go up?

I've been using Spiriva nearly 10 years and this year my PSA results spiked from less than 1 to above 6. Where did you get your info regarding the statistics on prostate cancer, as I would much like to study it. Thanks

I started Spiriva 2 years ago. I had mild COPD. I also had no prostate problems prior nor did I have a family history of Prostate cancer.Towards the end of last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, gleason 10. My psa was 18.1. I have since had the DiVinci surgery (which I fully recommend) and I am not undergoing radiation. None of the existed before Spiriva!!!! I found out that if you are on Spiriva 2 years - 5 years your chances of getting prostate cancer is 50%. If you are over 60 (I am 62) the chances are 90%. THe chance of having a severe cancer if on Spiriva is 100%

I have asked too; both my Urologist and my Pulmonologist. Neither had an answer. I just got a new Pulmonologist so  will ask him too.

Took Spriva for mild enphyzema and PSA elevated from 0.1 to 1.0 in 3-4 months. Waiting for byopsy results. Painful & frequent urination.
