Prostate Cancer Research urges the UK to implement screening for men at high risk of prostate cancer starting at age 45. With no existing national screening program, men must request tests post-50. Recent calls for change, highlighted by Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy’s terminal diagnosis, emphasize the importance of raising awareness among at-risk groups. The current screening methods, fraught with complexities, often lead to over-treatment. While some studies show screening saves lives, others find marginal benefits. More focused trials are planned to refine testing approaches, but immediate updates to NHS guidelines are being advocated to prevent late diagnoses.
