Prostate cancer screening urgently needed, says Rishi Sunak

Former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak is advocating for urgent prostate cancer screening, targeting high-risk groups like men aged 45-69 with family history or black men. The proposed program includes PSA tests and MRI scans to detect the disease early. However, critics caution against potential harm from overtreatment based on false positives. Prostate Cancer Research suggests an affordable and feasible screening initiative could save lives, though medical experts urge further research to assess the benefits and risks of widespread screening.
