Prostate Cancer: Diagnosis
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he expects to receive the report of the latest review of prostate cancer diagnosis from from the UK National Screening Committee.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) received two evidence review reports about screening for prostate cancer and is considering them alongside experts. Subject to no further revisions being required, a public consultation will start this calendar year. This will run for three months as usual, and the UK NSC will then make a recommendation on prostate cancer screening. Once the recommendation is made, ministers will consider whether to accept it or not.
