The American Cancer Society recently updated its guidelines, now urging men at average risk to start screening for prostate cancer with a PSA blood test every two years starting at age 50. For men at high risk, including Black men and those with a strong family history, the recommendation is to begin annual screenings at age 45. In contrast, Canada's guidelines, last updated in 2014, vary by province and lack a unified national advisory. The Canadian Cancer Society has highlighted the need for an update to better align with current scientific evidence. The PSA test measures a protein produced by both normal and cancerous prostate cells, which can signal the presence of a tumor but may also result from benign conditions.
