- Prostate Cancer: Age-Specific Screening Guidelines
The median PSA for this age range is 0 6 to 0 7 ng ml For men in their 60s: A PSA score greater than 4 0 ng ml is considered abnormal The normal range is between 1 0 and 1 5 ng ml An abnormal rise: A PSA score may also be considered abnormal if it rises a certain amount in a single year

PSA levels can be detected in the blood, urine, or semen Blood PSA testing is used as a screening test for prostate cancer Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by age remain the same across most populations A PSA level above 4 0 ng mL in any age group must be investigated
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by age: What to know
Generally speaking, though, PSA levels for men who are: Age 60 or older: should be at or below 4 0 mg mL; Age 59 or younger: should be at or below 2 5 mg mL;

Age 40 for men at even higher risk (those with more than one first-degree relative who had prostate cancer at an early age) After this discussion, men who want to be screened should get the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test The digital rectal exam (DRE) may also be done as a part of screening (See Screening Tests for Prostate Cancer )

Have a baseline PSA and strongly consider a baseline DRE If PSA less than 1 ng mL and DRE normal (if done), repeat testing every 2 – 4 years If PSA 1 - 3 ng mL and DRE normal (if done), repeat testing every 1 – 2 years If PSA greater than 3 ng mL and or a very suspicious DRE, talk with your doctor about further testing and follow-up Age 75+

However, because PSA levels increase with age, some doctors apply a higher cutoff (such as 5 ng ml) for older men and a lower cutoff ( such as 2 5 ng mL) for younger men In addition, a lower cutoff for abnormal is used in men taking certain drugs, including finasteride and dutasteride , which are used to treat BPH

PSA levels can vary significantly between individuals, and many factors beyond age can affect these numbers The ranges provided represent general guidelines based on current medical data Elevated PSA levels don’t automatically indicate cancer, while normal levels don’t guarantee the absence of health issues
