Today the UK National Screening Committee (UKNSC) have recommended:

against population screening for men (at any age)

Friends & Bredrins Prostate Cancer Support Group support Prostate Cancer UK (PCUK) in calling for a national screening program and feeding back any concerns about why/how the UKNSC have reached that conclusion.
