Men are advised to have an annual digital rectal exam (DRE) and a PSA blood test begining at the age of 40. Normal PSA is said to be less than 2.5 to 4 ng/mL; however, this level can vary with age, race, and medical history. Estimates are that by age 50, 1 in 4 men have some cancerous cells in the prostate gland, and by age 80, 1 in 2 men will have these cells present. This screening allows for earlier detection, and treatment, which may afford better patient outcome. ');
