(NCCN) recommends a repeat PSA test at intervals of 2 to 4 years for PSA<1 ng mL, and a repeat PSA test at intervals of 1 to 2 years for PSA 1–3 ng mL [8] The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) conducts the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), an annual, cross-sectional, in-person survey of a nationally representative

The primary purpose of any screening exam is to detect the early stages of a pathological condition, enabling timely intervention and preventing unnecessary morbidity or mortality before clinical signs or symptoms develop In prostate cancer screening, an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the most common initial laboratory finding, as the vast majority of men with early

PSA levels < 4 0 ng mL and who underwent an end-of-study biopsy Results showed that more than 15% of these men had prostate cancer 5 The detection rate of prostate cancer is about 47% in men with serum PSA in the range of 4-10 ng mL 5 However, the cancer rate is very similar for men with a PSA range of 2 0-3 0 ng mL(23%) and that with PSA of 3
- Understanding the Potential Benefits vs. Risks for Men 55–69
The PSA test measures the amount of PSA, a type of protein, in the blood When a man has an elevated PSA level, it may be caused by prostate cancer, but it could also be caused by other conditions too Studies show that PSA-based screening in men 55−69 comes with potential benefits and harms over a period of 10−15 years

• A PSA level above 4 0 ng mL is generally considered high • PSA level can be high when the prostate is enlarged inflamed, there is a urinary tract infection, or a patient has prostate cancer • There is considerable uncertainty about whether PSA screening is beneficial • For these reasons, screening is not recommended for everyone
