The American Cancer Society issued new guidelines on Thursday, November 12, 2026, significantly shifting the recommendations for prostate cancer screenings in the U.S. The updated guidance suggests that most men aged 50 to 69 should receive a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test every two years. Men identified as high-risk, specifically Black men and those with a strong family history of the disease, are advised to begin annual screenings as early as age 45. For men aged 70 to 74, the guidelines recommend discussing the utility of the PSA test with healthcare providers based on individual health and life expectancy. These updates reflect a move toward more proactive routine screening as cases of the disease rise nationwide. While prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in U.S. men, the new guidelines aim to decrease deaths from metastatic disease while mitigating potential harms. In contrast, the Canadian Cancer Society has noted that official clinical guidelines in Canada have not been updated since 2014.
