Question: When Should I be Tested? Recommendations for Prostate Cancer Screening
When should I be screened? Should I be screened earlier since I am at higher risk?
Answer:
At Age 50 or Earlier
You should start your annual PSA Test/digital rectal exam (DRE) regimen once you turn 50.
If you are black, you should start at age 40.
If you have blood relatives (fathers, grandfathers, brothers, sons, uncles) with prostate cancer, you should start at age 40.
