- abalone 3y agoAgreed, prostate cancer is rare under age 40. 45 to 50 is a good age to get tested if there is no family history. Other things: - There is a very new multi-cancer blood test called Galleri that might catch it, but I think you have to be above age 50. - You could potentially do genetic testing to look for markers but it's probably not worth the expense unless you have family history. - There's also the old fashioned Digital Rectal Exam that feels for abnormally sized prostates, but chances are your PSA would already be elevated.
