Prostate cancer: Government advisers oppose mandatory screening

Mandatory screening for prostate cancer will not be recommended for use on the NHS.

A key advisory committee has told the government it is likely to cause more harm than good.

The decision from the UK National Screening Committee means the government is unlikely to offer mandatory screening for men over the age of 45.

Draft recommendations will instead propose checks for individuals with specific genetic mutations.
