Aurora Health Care answered:
Beginning at age 50, the American Cancer Society recommends a yearly two-step program for early detection of prostate cancer:
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test: a blood test that measures PSA levels
- Digital rectal exam (DRE): a physician inserts a gloved finger in your anus and feels the prostate for abnormalities
