Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2025

Debate

Prostate Cancer: National Screening Programme

Contribution

My Lords, it is very welcome that new diagnostic tests are being investigated. However, can we be careful not to give out the wrong message? I was diagnosed with prostate cancer—and I was completely symptomless—thanks to the PSA test. In giving out that message, can we make it clear that GPs should not stop men getting a PSA test, even when they are symptomless, if they are at the right age and in the right bracket?
