VA stopped doing PSA as a routine test. “Unreliable” I was told. Have read similar reports to that effect.

Better to verify what you are ‘told’ before repeating it.
Screening for prostate cancer is done with a blood test that measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protein in the blood. An elevated PSA level may be caused by prostate cancer. It can also be caused by other conditions, too, including an enlarged prostate and inflammation of the prostate.
