Should I Get a PSA Test?

Cancer screening tests - including the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to look for signs of prostate cancer - can be a good idea. Prostate cancer screening can help identify cancer early on, when treatment is most effective. And a normal PSA test, combined with a digital rectal exam, can help reassure you that it’s unlikely you have prostate cancer. But getting a PSA test for prostate cancer may not be necessary for some men, especially men 75 and older.
