Too many men are diagnosed only once the disease is advanced, not because treatment is unavailable, but because early testing is not routinely offered.\r\n\r\nAt present, men must actively request a PSA test or wait until symptoms appear. \r\n\r\nRoutine screening would:\r\n\r\nDetect prostate cancer earlier\r\nImprove survival rates\r\nReduce the need for intensive late-stage treatment\r\n\r\nEarly detection saves lives, and would save the NHS money.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2026-01-29T22:34:21.784Z","updated_at":"2026-03-05T18:06:37.325Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-05T18:06:27.542Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-01-30T02:14:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/755872"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
