Who should get tested for prostate cancer, and how often? NBC Nightly News reports that revised American Cancer Society guidelines recommend screening most men aged 50 to 69 every other year, with annual PSA testing for those at higher risk.

Stephanie Gosk's report also describes more scope for men over 70 to be tested after consulting their doctors. The recommendations make age and individual risk central to decisions about when testing is appropriate.

Dr. Herbert Lepor, NYU Langone's urology chief, explains why he sees the balance shifting toward screening: "We've reduced the risks, fewer biopsies, following low-risk cancer, and now the scale, the balance between risk-benefit, is in favor of PSA screening."

The health report appears late in Tom Llamas's November 12 broadcast, after coverage of tornadoes, the fatal Washington gym shooting and the Brooklyn apartment collapse. It offers a separate public-health development within an edition dominated by emergencies, reaching the screening recommendations at 13:49.
