Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men with around 130 new cases diagnosed in the UK every day and more than 10,000 men a year dying as a result of the disease. However, unlike breast and cervical cancer there is currently no national screening program for this disease in the UK.

It could also significantly reduce over-diagnosis, researchers say. Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, with around 130 new cases diagnosed in the UK every day and more than 10,000 men a year dying as a result of the disease. However, there is currently no national screening programme for the disease in the UK. Men suspected of having the disease have a blood test that detects raised levels of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines also advise that all men with a positive PSA result have an MRI scan prior to biopsy.
