A home test kit for prostate cancer that could help with early diagnosis of aggressive forms of the disease while reducing the need for trips to hospital is being trialled.
Researchers will post kits to 2,000 men in the UK, Europe and Canada, with participants asked to give two urine samples to return by mail for lab analysis.
Teams from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) trialled the kit with a small group of participants before the latest phase of the study.
