My middle age male patients often ask me if they should get a Prostate-Specific Angiten (PSA) test that looks for prostate cancer.
Assuming they don’t have a family history of prostate cancer, I reply, “Probably not, but it depends…” This is understandably not the clear and concise answer that patients are looking for from their family doctor.
Fortunately, I recently came across videos from Dr. Mike Evans and the Health Lab that does a great job at explaining the PSA test and whether or not to undergo it. I would highly recommend watching the videos if you or your loved ones were thinking about testing for prostate cancer.
If you have questions after watching the video, feel free to talk to your Magenta Health physician about it.
