If it was 20 last year and 40 this year it means he better get to a doctor and damn quick. I think at age 50 the number is supposed to be around 35 so if he is a young guy there is a problem.
2 :
He should be asking his doctor. A normal PSA is 4 and under.

Last few years my PSA level was 2 and this January it jumped to 5 so my doctor sent me to a urologist who did a biopsy of the prostate and it came back positive for prostate cancer. I had the most aggressive type. I had a procedure called cryo therapy where the prostate is frozen. So when there is a big jump in PSA levels its best to get it checked quick before it spreads beyond the prostate.
