A yearly PSA test is all but required for men over 50...elevated PSA can indicate a problem. At the same time, your prostate is palpated by the doc to see if anything abnormal can be felt. This is a very slow growing cancer and if caught very early, has a good prognosis. The propenisty for the cancer is inherited, but because others in your family have had prostate cancer does not mean you will have it..it does mean you have to be on the look out for it, as we all should be. Good luck<br><b>References : </b><br> There are no early warning signs! A yearly PSA test is all but required for men over 50…elevated PSA can indicate a problem.
