I always have to pipe up on these threads and say that the PSA test is controversial and anyone taking it should understand the Pandora's box they open when they take it. The test is, of course, benign, but the subsequent actions one might take based on the results are anything but. Many experts (including an independent agency which statistically evaluates the pros/cons of various medical tests), do not recommend routine PSA testing.
