For prostate cancer screening, what is the minimum age to consider testing with a PSA blood test, if the patient chooses?

  1. 40 years

  2. 45 years

  3. 50 years

  4. 55 years

The correct answer is: 50 years

Prostate cancer screening with a PSA blood test is often considered in men who are at average risk starting at the age of 50. This is the age recommended by various medical guidelines, including those from the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Screening before the age of 50 is generally not recommended for average-risk individuals due to the potential for false positives, overdiagnosis, and overtreatment. It is important to weigh the benefits and risks of screening with the patient before proceeding.
