Calls grow for national screening programme for prostate cancer
from Today Explained · host Today Explained
Calls for a national prostate cancer screening programme, particularly in the UK, are intensifying, driven by political advocacy and new evidence suggesting that modern diagnostic methods can mitigate the historical harms associated with screening. Over 120 UK parliamentarians, including former Prime Minister Lord David Cameron (who has been treated for the disease), have signed a letter urging the Health Secretary to prepare for a screening programme. High-profile figures and patient advocates, like Kevin Kibble, share personal stories of late diagnosis to highlight the urgency.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
