PSA Test – Patient Advocate

Dr. David Samadi, top robotic prostatectomy specialist, recommends that men begin PSA screening at age 40 to establish a baseline. If normal, the PSA should be repeated annual after age 45 to monitor any changes.

Prostate cancer is often a disease that presents with no symptoms. As such, the PSA test is often the only indicator of this life-threatening disease. Dr. Samadi stresses surgeon expertise and the art of medicine in evaluating PSA levels and removing the cancerous prostate. A patient shares how the PSA test indicated his prostate cancer early enough for Dr. Samadi to successfully remove it through robotic prostatectomy surgery.
