Doctors i know say the PSA test has many question marks and is not entirely accurate.
The finger thing is still the best way for a qualified doctor to feel if something is abnormal.

Story: A good friend of mine had just his yearly physical, and PSA numbers were good.
By chance, the company he works for had him go do a mandatory physical exam with their physician for insurance purposes a month later. That doctor did the finger thing and found a hard mass.
Gleason number was 8 ;which is close to terminal.
He had surgery immediately and survived.
Doc told him if he had waited another year for his yearly physical / PSA he would have been dead.
Reckon it is a crap shoot no matter what, excuse the pun.
