The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that men should make an informed decision with their health care provider about when to be screened for prostate cancer. The decision should be made after gathering information about the uncertainties, risks, and potential benefits of prostate cancer screening. The discussion about the screening should take place at: Age 50 for men who are at average risk of prostate cancer.Age 45 for men at high risk of developing prostate cancer. This includes African Americans and men who have a first-degree relative (father or brother) diagnosed with prostate cancer at an early age (younger than age 65).Age 40 for men at even higher risk. This group includes those with more than one first-degree relative who had prostate cancer at an early age. *Only the PSA blood test will be offered at the event, it will not include a DRE (digital rectal exam).
