The US Preventive Services Task Force advises against PSA screening in men older than 69 years due to the risk of false-positive results and overdiagnosis of indolent disease. The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends against routine PSA screening of men older than 70 years.Overall, 155 men (11%) had a serum PSA level greater than or equal to the 6.5 ng/mL recommended reference cut-off point for men aged 70 years and over.By the Numbers: Diagnosis and Survival
Prostate cancer incidence increases with age: the older you are, the greater your chance of developing it. Although only about 1 in 456 men under age 50 will be diagnosed, the rate shoots up to 1 in 54 for ages 50 to 59, 1 in 19 for ages 60 to 69, and 1 in 11 for men 70 and older.
What is the normal PSA for a 70 year old man in NHS : Reference range: PSA cut-off values (Local referral guidelines, NICE NG12). Age below 40: use clinical judgement; Age 40 – 49 years: 2.5 ug/L; 50 – 59 years: 3.5 ug/L; Age 60 – 69 years: 4.5 ug/L; Age 70 – 79 years: 6.5 ug/L; Age 80+ years: see local advice.
Should a 73 year old have a PSA test
Men with a family history of prostate cancer (especially if a first-degree relative had prostate cancer before age 60) and African American men are more likely to have aggressive prostate cancer. So even at an older age, these men might want to continue regular prostate cancer screening beyond age 70.
Should a 75 year old man get a PSA test : Major professional societies such as the American Urological Association and the American Society of Clinical Oncology recommend against PSA screening for elderly men with reduced life expectancy.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against screening for men over 75. "There's no question that there has been overtreatment of prostate cancer," says Tosoian. In men over 80 without signs of metastatic disease the benefit of PSA testing is uncertain. A PSA test should only be performed in men who want one after an appropriate shared decision-making process (see above). The potential benefits are greater in those with a life expectancy of more than 10 years.
Do most men over 75 have prostate cancer
About 65% of new prostate cancers are diagnosed in males aged ≥ 65 years and 25% in males > aged 75 years. 2 Most older patients with prostate cancer do not die of prostate cancer.2.5-3.5: Normal for a man 50-60 yrs. 3.5-4.5: Normal for a man 60-70 yrs. 4.5-5.5: Normal for a man 70-80 yrs.Recommends against routine PSA screening in men aged 70 and older. This is because the potential survival benefits from treatment are statistically minimal, and they do not outweigh the significant adverse effects and health issues that the average man in this age group may experience due to treatment. We are living longer, and 75 is not the ripe old age it used to be. But it's a cutoff age for PSA screening — and this is missing cancer in men who really need to be treated, say Brady investigators. "There is increasing evidence that this age-based approach is significantly flawed," says Patrick C.
Should an 80 year old get a PSA test : In men over 80, PSA testing should be encouraged where there are symptoms suggestive of metastatic prostate cancer (such as bone pain, unintended weight loss and fatigue). 1.7. In men over 80 without signs of metastatic disease the benefit of PSA testing is uncertain.
