At what age should you start prostate cancer screenings if you have a strong family history?

Question by BargainMama: At what age should you start prostate cancer screenings if you have a strong family history?
My husband will be 30 soon and I wonder when he should start psa screening for prostate cancer. His father, paternal grandfather, and paternal uncle all had/have prostate cancer. His father was diagnosed at age 43 but it appears to be out of remission now after 10 years. I’ve read the recommended age is 45 or 50 yrs but if my father-in-law waited to 45 he’d be dead by now. So if you have a strong family history, what’s the best time to start?
