Quote from article:

"What’s needed, instead, is a smarter approach that incorporates the American Cancer Society’s recommendation that doctors and patients discuss the risks and benefits of PSA tests beginning at age 45 for African-American men, and at younger ages for men with a strong family history of prostate cancer."
