Men 50 and older receive a digital rectal exam (DRE) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test on an annual basis.
African American men are encouraged to integrate the DRE and PSA as part of their annual physical exam at age 40.
The American Urological Association encourages physicians to routinely offer prostate cancer testing to men who have an anticipated lifespan of 10 or more years, including African-American men 40 and older.
