Prostate cancer screening and diagnosis
The European Urology Association recommends that men should initiate early detection for prostate cancer screenings, at an individual level, beginning from the age of 50 if they do not have a family history of prostate cancer or who are not of African descent. On the other hand, men who do have a family history of prostate cancer or who are of African descent should begin prostate cancer screening from the age of 45 years. Men who carry BRCA2 mutations should start their screening at 40 years of age. Individuals, both male and female, with these mutations are more prone to suffer from early onset of breast, ovarian or prostate cancer in these male and female individuals).
