Medical Necessity Aetna considers the following interventions medically necessary: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening As a preventive service for men 45 years of age and older who are considered average-risk for prostate cancer, and...
Age also affects prostate cancer survival rates. According to a CDC report, those under 50 and over 80 have the lowest relative survival rates. Because those under 50 aren't usually tested for prostate cancer, it may be less likely to be diagnosed in younger people until it reaches the late...
