What men need to know after a major update to prostate cancer guidelines11/13/2026WASHINGTON (AP) — The American Cancer Society is recommending routine prostate cancer screening for more middle-aged men, in a major change to its guidelines. That means a blood test for what's called PSA, or prostate-specific antigen. The new guideline says men at average risk of getting prostate cancer should get a PSA test every two years between the ages of 50 and 69. It says men at high risk, including Black men and those with a strong family history of prostate cancer, should get yearly PSA checks and start earlier at age 45. An abnormal PSA doesn't mean that a man has prostate cancer, but may require further testing.
