Prostate (PSA) Testing
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, second only to skin cancer, effecting approximately 1 in 6 men. No one knows exactly what causes prostate cancer, but early detection and treatment is critical before it has a chance to spread to other parts of the body.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced in the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer or a noncancerous disorder such as prostatitis or an enlarged prostate.
An annual PSA blood test is recommended for men beginning at age 50 and earlier for those at higher risk for prostate cancer.

The Health Testing Centers Prostate Check combines the PSA blood test with the PAP blood test. Alone the PSA blood test is considered the most effective test currently available for the early detection of prostate cancer.
