This indicator shows the percentage of men ages 40 years and older who have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test to screen for prostate cancer with their health care provider.
Why is this important?
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can be measured in the blood to detect prostate cancer and to monitor the response to treatment. Although it is currently the best method to detect localized prostate cancer, PSA levels may increase in response to benign inflammation of the prostate. Additionally, some individuals with prostate cancer may have normal PSA levels. It is important to discuss your medical history with your doctor and to understand the pros and cons of PSA screening.
