Closed Make it compulsory for all men over 50 to have prostate screening

Closed on

I have cancer. All men over 50 should be screened for prostate cancer to save lives.

Any problems with the tests do not outweigh the benefits of saving lives. The Government must introduce and fund a national screening programme now. If the Government don’t think the test is good enough, they must commit to funding development of a test that is good enough and commit to making a test available within five years. Men’s lives depend on it.
