Debate not settled: 42y/o male asks, What is your advice with regards to prostate screening for someone my age? Currently there is a debate and no settled answers on this issue. Ultimately the decision to check one's PSA (prostate Specific Antigen) depends on individual male preference; is one between age 40 & 70years, has symptoms or not, has family Hx of prostate cancer, prefers to know or stay ignorant of status..
