dht is not a commonly used terminology. I guess that it stands for DiHydroTestosterone. If that is what you are following, it is beyond the modern way of testing for Prostate Cancer for which the commonly used test is PSA(Prostate specific Antigen). But this test is not recommended in young people because it is a test for making a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer , you can do it after age of 40 yrs
