What is a PSA test?
PSA is a protein made in the prostate that typically increases when cancer is present. PSA can be elevated for other reasons such as prostate enlargement or infection, but an elevated PSA often will prompt the urologist to recommend a biopsy. The PSA blood test is the most important test to diagnose prostate cancer. Learn more about PSA tests here.
When should you be screened?
The recommendations for a PSA screening can be a controversial issue, but all of the urologists at AUS strongly believe in the benefits of screening and early detection. Through focused research and decades of knowledge about the natural history of prostate cancer, we have learned that many patients with low grade prostate cancer can be safely observed and avoid treatment altogether.
AGES 45 – 75
Patients 45-75 years of age at average risk should have a baseline PSA done.
AFRICAN AMERICAN / FAMILY HISTORY
For patients with higher risk features such as African ancestry, family history, or germline genetic mutations, screening can begin as early as age 40.
75 AND OLDER
Traditionally, after age 75 the recommendation was to no longer to prostate cancer screening but since many patients are living healthier and longer lives, there is benefit to some healthy older patients to having PSA testing done.
