Most UK men should not be offered prostate cancer screening, experts say
Government will consider committee’s guidance that says mass screening ‘likely to cause more harm than good’
Most men in the UK will not be offered prostate cancer screening if the government accepts the final recommendation of an expert committee.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with more than 64,000 men diagnosed every year. There is, however, no national screening programme for the disease.
