At what age should annual screening for prostate cancer begin for men?

The correct answer is: 50

Annual screening for prostate cancer typically begins at age 50 for men who are at average risk. This recommendation is supported by major health organizations, including the American Urological Association and the American Cancer Society. The rationale behind starting screening at this age is that prostate cancer is more common in older men, and early detection can lead to better outcomes. For men who are considered to be at higher risk, including those with a family history of prostate cancer or those of African descent, discussions about screening may start earlier, around age 45. This allows for a tailored approach to individual risk factors. However, for the general population, age 50 serves as the guideline for initiating annual prostate cancer screenings.
