What's a normal time to get a prostate specific antigen score?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PSA: Psa, prostate specific antigen, is a test used for screening for prostate cancer. Psa can be used to detect cancers earlier however there is significant controversy regarding the use of this screening modality. Whether to screen should be discussed with your physician. Typically screening is not started in men until they are 50 years old unless they are high risk, then 40.
