Does my husband's risk at 55 years of age increase for prostate cancer since 1) his father had stage 4 prostate cancer at age 76 and 2) his grandfather died from prostate cancer at age 54? Currently his PSA is in the middle range of normal. Thank you in advance for the information.

2 ReactionsI have a very high PSA and symptoms consistent with BPH, and was told by my doctor that I should have a cancer biopsy, which was negative. I subsequently read that biopsy is not always indicated with high PSA. What is the current Best Practices standard regarding the use of PSA in determining treatment? What other causes might there be for high PSA? Thank you.

2 ReactionsI had the same: PSA 11, then needle biopsy, negative. PSA kept rising, doubling in 18 months so went to MRI guided biopsy which showed lesions in hard to find places.

You give me information on the trials that are going on in the Boston mayo clinic and how I would go about getting involved thank you
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
@marko1, Mayo Clinic has 3 campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.
In this article about prostate cancer treatments that I sent to you https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/prostate-cancer/care-at-mayo-clinic/mac-20353097 Mayo Clinic describes advances in treatment in the section title "The latest treatment options".
What treatment options are you and your cancer team considering at this time? What would you like to know more about?
Hi @marko1. You can find Mayo Clinic clinical trials on this page: https://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials.
