About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. The most common risk factor: age.

But some men are at an increased risk. You're more likely to get prostate cancer if:
➡️You're 65 or older.
➡️Prostate cancer runs in your family.
➡️You're Black or African American.

Screening tests, like a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test, can find prostate cancer that has a high risk of spreading. But prostate screenings can also come with risks, like false-positives and complications from biopsies.

It's recommended that men 55 to 69 years old make individual decisions about prostate screenings. Talk to your doctor about your risk and how you feel about the benefits and harms of screening.
