Doctors encourage prostate cancer blood test for younger men

The American Cancer Society is recommending more regular blood test screenings for prostate cancer among younger men as diagnoses rise nationwide. Men aged 50 to 69 at average risk should undergo PSA screening every two years, while those at higher risk, including black men and those with family histories, need more frequent testing. Experts note studies consistently find PSA screening can reduce the risk of dying from the disease, marking a reversal in the organization's previous guidance on testing.
