I have been having psa tests each year usually ordered by my gp. My psa was elevated and I was referred to a urologist who test me and found that of the 12 probes one detected cancer so presently I will be treated by radiation. Fortunately it was caught early so my prognosis is excellent. In any event without the psa test cancer would not have been detected or at least not detected earlier. Just wanted to throw my experience out there.
