40-75: This is the age variations. If concerned you should discuss with your doctor the psa test and rectal exam, considering your risk factors and your needs. Hope it helps.

Prostate cancer : My recommendation is to start at age 50; if you are a healthy and have >10 year life expectancy; if family history of pca start screening at 40.
