In May 2013, the AUA released new guidelines supporting routine use of the PSA test in healthy men aged 55-69 years who are at average risk for prostate cancer and asymptomatic.

The AUA guidelines do not recommend testing in men aged 40 years or younger, in men aged 40-54 years who are at average risk, in men aged 70 years or older, or in men with a life expectancy of less than 10-15 years.
