Most doctors recommend waiting until age 50 to begin PSA testing. That's because prostate cancer is uncommon before this age.

Next, we need to know your most recent PSA test result. Typically this is a number between 1.0 and 10.0 (PSA is measured in nanograms per milliliter, or ng/ml).
What was your PSA level?
- Weniger als 1,0
- 1,0 bis 2,49
