Every man near 50 shold get his PSA checked every year.

Getting measured every year is important but more important is getting a baseline measurement before you hit 50. Get a PSA test at 45 or so to show what YOUR body is showing, then if there is a change you can keep an eye on it. If you get it measured first at 50 it could be high but that might be normal for you... or it could be a problem. Getting a first test at 45 eliminates this variable.
Supposedly eating blueberries is good for this... I just eat them with blueberry flavoured Vodka...
