The prostate is a walnut-sized gland nestled beneath the bladder. Prostate cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer deaths, killing 1 out of every 35 men. Catching the cancer before it spreads can improve a patient's chances of being alive five years later from 30 percent to almost 100 percent. [Why Can't We Cure Cancer?]

That's where prostate screening comes in. Prostate cells produce a protein called prostate-specific antigen, or PSA. A blood test can catch elevated levels of PSA, which can be a sign of prostate cancer. 

Most doctors consider more than 4 nanograms of PSA per milliliter of blood to be a red flag.
