A yearly exam for all men 50 years and older, regardless of risk, intended for early detection of precancerous and cancerous conditions in the prostate. The exam can also detect prostate enlargement, which is frequently benign (non-cancerous), but should be addressed to avoid discomfort and other complications. Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. Thankfully, death from prostate cancer is rare because of early detection and intervention.

While there are factors that increase the risk for prostate cancer—older age (50+), genetics and family history, race and ethnicity (especially African American and Caribbean men of African ancestry), geography (especially the U.S.), and others—prostate exams are now recommended annually for all men after age 50, regardless of factors that have been associated with increased or decreased risk.
