Should I have a PSA test?
Yes. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men besides skin cancer, and 40 percent of cases affect men before the age of 65 years.
Nearly 99 percent of prostate cases, however, are treatable – if they are caught early. So don’t panic if your PSA is elevated.
Also most men who have an elevated PSA don’t have cancer, and only 25 percent of prostate biopsies find cancer.
