On call. I've had my PSA tested every year since 1992 and I'm happy to say it's always been normal. But now my doctor doesn't want to do the test anymore because I'm 78 years old. Should I go to another doctor for my test?

On call. I developed severe ulcerative colitis in my late teens, and I had my entire colon and rectum removed at age 24. It was certainly worthwhile, since I adjusted easily and I've been healthy ever since. But now I'm 52, and I'm starting to think about prostate cancer. My doctor obviously can't do a rectal exam, and he doesn't want to do a PSA test because he says he won't be able to send me for a prostate biopsy if the test is high. Do I have any options?

On call. I just reviewed your July 2009 article on PSA testing. After talking with my wife, I've decided to skip the PSA test when I go for my annual physical next month. But your article doesn't say much about rectal exams. Should I skip that also?

On call. I am 58-year-old diabetic. I've had my PSA checked every year since I turned 50, but I'm now on kidney dialysis. Will dialysis change my PSA results?

On call. I'm a 76-year-old man with an enlarged prostate. I've been taking Cardura and it's helped a lot, but my doctor stopped it because he said a study found the drug could cause heart failure. Now I'm getting up three or four times a night again. Is Cadura safe?

On call. My prostate is not enlarged and I have no urinary tract symptoms, but I've had three prostate biopsies over the past four years because my PSA has gone from 3.2 to 4.8. The first two biopsies were normal, but the new one found "PIN" but no cancer. Please explain "PIN" and tell me what it means for me. I'm 59 years old, and except for my prostate, I don't have a worry in the world.

My total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is 0.2 nanograms per milliliter, which I'm told is normal. But my free-to-total PSA ratio is 8 percent, which I've read indicates a high risk of prostate cancer. What do these seemingly contradictory PSA results mean?

On call. I am a 69-year-old man who had a radical prostatectomy three years ago. I feel fine and my PSA is undetectable. I've heard that a special scan can detect prostate cancer, but my hospital doesn't seem to know about it. Should I try to arrange one?

On call. I've always been completely healthy. At my last check-up, my cholesterol was 295. I'm worried, but my doctor tells me I don't need treatment. What do you suggest?

On call. I am 76 years old, and I've had an enlarged prostate for at least 10 years. I've been taking Proscar for about a year, and it seems to be helping quite a bit. I have not noticed any side effects, but I'm worried that if the medicine reduces testosterone levels enough to shrink my prostate, it will also give me osteoporosis. Should I change medications, or take Fosamax like my wife?
