I'm one data point pro PSA: at 43 I had elevated levels, biopsy, detected cancer, prostatectomy followed by full recovery. I can also attest to the anxiety about the two big Is: incontinence and impotence. Luckily I had a great surgeon who'd done hundreds of prostatectomies and everything turned out well. The urologist who originally treated me gave me one good piece of advice, he said "statistically you're not likely to die of this but the problem with statistics is that they may not apply to you". When the surgeon removed my prostate he said that I would have developed symptoms sooner or later even if it hadn't metastasized.
