I agree on the PSA test. The "finger wave" by a good doc is also very important. The PSA score by itself is not as important as the change in the score from year to year.
At my physical in 2001 I had a 1.6 score. During my physical a year later the doc said "hmm" during the finger wave. I asked what that meant and he said "I'm sending you for a Truss Biopsy". The biopsy results were 11 out of 12 samples were positive for cancer with a Gleason Score of 7 with the max being 10. I had Stage III cancer. My prostate was removed about 2 weeks later. It was after that I learned my PSA score at the physical was 2.6
This is why I say a good doc, not one who says we'll just watch it for another year, is as important as the PSA test. This is really important if you have a family history of prostate cancer -- father or older brothers.
