Background
12,000 men die of prostate cancer every year. Black men, men with a family history of prostate cancer, & men from deprived areas are disproportionately impacted. Diagnosing prostate cancer is now safer & more accurate - Prostate Cancer UK’s research shows harms have been reduced by 79%. It is time to review NHS guidance on the PSA blood test, invest in proactive early diagnosis programmes for men at highest risk & drive forward the science towards a world where no man dies of prostate cancer.
