Baseline Prostate-specific Antigen Level in Midlife and Aggressive Prostate Cancer in Black Men

ConclusionsPSA levels in midlife strongly predicted total and aggressive PCa among black men. PSA levels among controls were similar to those among white controls in prior studies.Patient summaryProstate-specific antigen (PSA) level during midlife strongly predicted future development of aggressive prostate cancer among black men. Targeted screening based on a midlife PSA might identify men at high risk while minimizing screening in those men at low risk.
