Concerned about prostate cancer?
PSA testing does not diagnose prostate cancer but can indicate potential issues. Discuss further testing with your doctor. This website offers information on advanced testing methods for prostate cancer to help you make informed decisions.
Who’s at risk
All men are at risk for prostate cancer, but certain factors can increase the likelihood of cancer.
1 in 8
About 1 man in 8 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime
65+
About 60% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men age 65 or older
3 million men
Over 3 million men in the U.S. are believed to be currently living with prostate cancer.
Screening
Cancer screening for most men may begin at ages 45 to 50, or earlier for higher-probability men

Detecting and diagnosing prostate cancer
Many physicians follow a three-stage approach for diagnosing prostate cancer.
Initial screening
Prostate cancer screening often starts with a PSA test, but its lack of specificity can lead to unnecessary biopsies, with approximately 75% of nearly one million annual U.S. biopsies diagnosing either non-aggressive cancer or no cancer at all.
Further testing to detect cancer
An MRI of the prostate helps assess cancer risk after an elevated PSA, but varying interpretations by operators in some instances, highlight the need for complementary technologies to accurately evaluate the risk of prostate cancer.
Prostate biopsy
A prostate biopsy diagnoses and grades aggressive prostate cancer, but sampling errors and complications emphasize the need for diagnostic tools that enhance specificity, reduce unnecessary biopsies, and improve candidate targeting.

Frequently asked questions
PSA is a blood test that detects a protein in men’s blood. High levels of PSA may identify men who have prostate cancer.
It is useful for prostate cancer screening but has problems with false positive results
Limitations of PSA screening are false positives leading to unnecessary biopsies and the overdiagnosis of non-aggressive prostate cancers
No there are other conditions that can lead to elevated PSA such as benign prostatic hypertropy, prostatitis, urinary infections, recent sexual activity and bike riding.
