Should you have the PSA test or not?

Could you suffer complications from prostate treatments you never needed?

Four of the scariest words a man can hear are: “You have prostate cancer.” Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and the second-leading cause of cancer death.
Sometimes the side effects of treatment, which include erectile dysfunction and incontinence, are worse than the disease.
That's because some prostate cancers found using today's high-tech diagnostic techniques would never have caused any health problems or shortened life. That's one reason many doctors are advising men not to have a routine blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to detect early prostate cancer. How do you decide what’s best for your health?
