Prostate Cancer Prevention

Prevention

Beginning at 50 years old, men should be offered a digital rectal exam and PSA blood test to screen for prostate cancer. Many, but not all professional organizations, recommend a yearly PSA blood test for men over 50 years old. Black men and men with close family members who have had prostate cancer diagnosed at a young age should begin screening at 45 years old. All men should discuss PSA testing with their doctor.
