A member asked:
Who should get the psa screen for prostate cancer?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not sure: This topic is hotly debated among health care providers and there is no consensus on screening. If there are symptoms of prostate problems, or an examination shows an enlarged or irregular prostate, a psa should be done. Otherwise, there is no clear consensus on routine psa screening, though it is not generally recommended before the age of 50.
