Hello,
As you have mentioned a family history of prostate cancer, I would suggest him to get evaluated for the same.
The PSA level of 6.34 is definitely raised, and a prostate exam by a urologist and a prostate biopsy would be the next steps. The further plan would be based on the results of the biopsy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
