PSA levels increase. When to be concerned?

PSA blood tests are so cheap and non-invasive (CA $30–40 in Canada – US $22–30 — if not covered by provincial healthcare) that there's no reason not to get them frequently if there's a shadow of concern, even if insurance won't cover all of them. The important thing is just to avoid overreacting to small changes.

To screen for breast cancer, women have to have their breasts more-or-less squeezed flat in a giant vice during the mammogram. Imagine if we had to do that with our testicles to test for prostate cancer! 🤢 We really have it easy, guys.
