As a general rule of thumb, if you are 50, you should be getting PSA testing. As we age, our risk for developing prostate cancer increases each year; it is the second most common cancer for men. African American men and men who have a family history of prostate cancer are two and a half times more likely to develop the disease. Talk to you General Practitioner at an earlier age if you fall into either of these increased risk categories.
