Prostate-specific antigen(PSA) levels in mid-life are powerfully predictive of a man's chance of developing metastatic prostate cancer and dying from the disease. PSA levels at 40 and 50 years of age are a much better predictor of prostate cancer risk than assessments of diet, family history, body mass index, or anything else that we have that predicts risk, writes Peter T. Scardino, MD, chairman of the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, in  <http://links.remedyhealthmedia.mkt5226.com/ctt?kn=17&ms=Nzk2MzA1MwS2&r=NDk5ODAzNTY0OTcS1&b=0&j=NzQwNzE2NzkwS0&mt=1&rt=0> Prostate Cancer Outlook 2015 with Scientific American.

The best scientific evidence suggests that you should have your first PSA test in your mid 40s. After that, the frequency of testing depends on your level. The following is what doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center recommend to patients with a 10-year life expectancy:

Baseline PSA test at age 45-49 

· PSA ≥ 3 ng / mL: consider prostate biopsy?

· PSA ≥ 1 but < 3 ng / mL: return for PSA testing every 2 - 4 years

· PSA < 1 ng / mL: return for PSA testing at age 51 - 55

Men age 50 – 59 should have their PSA checked 

· PSA ≥ 3 ng / mL: consider prostate biopsy?

· PSA ≥ 1 but < 3 ng / mL: return for PSA testing every 2 - 4 years

· PSA < 1 ng / mL: return for PSA testing at age 60
