Are there specific circumstances where screening PSA tests are definitely not recommended?
Since PSA testing for screening purposes in asymptomatic men is of uncertain benefit, performing it on men whose life expectancy is less than ten years is potentially inappropriate, as it is likely that most of their morbidity and mortality will be related to disease processes other than prostate cancer. However, there is no consensus on an upper age limit. In asymptomatic men, PSA testing for screening purposes is of uncertain benefit.
