“Routine PSA screening is no longer recommended because the harms of unnecessary testing and treatment outweigh the benefits.”
I was told this in so many words by VA Doctor, NP and PA. If you are still uncertain? Call VA.

Never trust doctors. 6 yrs ago I had a PSA at 30. The doc said I had only a few weeks to live without radical surgery which I refused. He had a EXO-DX test where I scored a 63. Supposedly anything over a 15 shows severe cancer. I called testing company and their urologist said to throw the results out as worthless if taken while there was a prostate infection. It messes up the RNA whatever that is. The doctor should have know that so he was either uneducated or crooked. Current test shows a PSA of 170. 3 MRI’s, 3 Ultrasounds and a full body bone scan with dye shows nothing is wrong.
PSA scores are junk. A prostate infection or BPH can give false readings. Read the article==The Great Prostate Hoax by Richard Ablin
