A new testing kit developed by researchers in Norwich is to be sent to thousands of men across the world to revolutionise diagnosising prostate cancer.
Work by the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to create the Prostate Screening Box is intended to diagnose aggressive prostate cancer in a non-invasive way, through a kit that can be put through the letter box.
The next phase will see 2,000 men in the UK, Europe and Canada have their prostate health analysed through the home kit, without having to undergo a rectal exam.
