- Prostate CancerProstate cancer is the number one cancer affecting men over the age of 50 years old. The American Cancer Society currently recommends prostate cancer screening for all men over the age of 50. Screening includes a yearly prostate exam and blood test for PSA (prostate specific antigen). PSA is a blood test which urologists use to stratify patients as high or low risk for prostate cancer. The normal range for PSA has historically been a level less than 4.0 ng/ml. Anything over the normal range is an indication for prostate biopsy to determine if a patient has prostate cancer.
