What's the consensus, yearly PSA test for over 50s? What else are you supposed to do if there aren't always any symptoms?

Edit - this is informative https://prostatecanceruk.org/prostate-information-and-support/prostate-tests/psa-blood-test

should be well before 50

hoy is 48

I was watching some of the world cycling from Denmark today but only just heard on the news his cancer has turned terminal. Up to 4 years more to live. Utterly shocked and gutted to hear that. Amazing how he appears to be taking it in his stride.

Genetics?

Don't know the specifics but I know they're more likely to get skin cancer and some other things too.
