PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) screening is a blood test used to help detect prostate cancer early. PSA is a protein produced by both cancerous and non-cancerous tissue in the prostate; high levels may suggest cancer but can also be due to other conditions. This screening is important for men, particularly those over 50 or with a family history. Discuss with your doctor to understand the benefits and limitations, and consider lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise for overall prostate health.
