Note: While this test provides valuable information, it's important to review your results with your healthcare provider. They can interpret the findings in the context of your overall health, medical history and individual circumstances, and provide personalized recommendations for improving your health.
Major medical associations and societies, including the US Preventive Services Task Force, American Cancer Society and American Urological Association, agree that men should discuss screening with their healthcare providers. They also agree that men should be informed about the benefits and risks of prostate cancer screening and treatment and make decisions that best reflect personal values and preferences.1
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the discussion about screening should take place at:
Screening can provide earlier detection of prostate cancer which could provide the opportunity for more treatment options and better survival odds in some men, but there are also potential risks associated with screening, diagnosis and treatment that should be considered. Possible risks may include false positive results, overdiagnosis of prostate cancer and potential complications from prostate cancer treatment. Detection and treatment of a slow-growing prostate cancer that may have never caused symptoms in the patient’s lifetime can result in complications from the treatment, but no benefit, referred to as overdiagnosis.3
The results of this test provide insights into various aspects of your health, including hormone levels, cardiovascular risk factors, thyroid function and metabolic health. This information can help guide lifestyle choices and inform discussions with your healthcare provider.
The frequency of testing can vary based on individual health needs, health goals, risk factors and any existing medical conditions. It's best to consult with your healthcare provider about the right testing frequency based on your unique health situation.
