PSA Screening
Prostate screening is used to test and detect undiagnosed prostate cancer in men. Levels of PSA will be higher in men who have prostate cancer compared to men who don't.

During this procedure, a physician inserts a hollow needle through the wall of the rectum to collect prostate tissue samples, which can be evaluated under a microscope for evidence of cancer. -
Colonoscopy
During this procedure, the doctor uses a long, thin, flexible, lighted tube to check for polyps or cancer inside the rectum and the entire colon. During the test, the doctor can find and remove most polyps and some cancers. Should start the screening at age 45 and continue to do so until 75.
