The PSA test is used primarily to screen for prostate cancer before symptoms appear and measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced in the prostate, a small gland about the size and shape of a walnut that sits below a man's bladder. Small amounts of PSA ordinarily circulate in the blood. Men ages 50-70 or those at high risk are encouraged to be screened annually. High-risk men include African-Americans and those with a family history of prostate cancer.
