Prostate Cancer: Screening
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any additional evidence published since the UK National Screening Committee’s draft recommendation in November will be considered before a final decision is made on prostate cancer screening.
- Answer
-
We have full confidence in the UK National Screening Committee's evidence-based approach, which includes a 12 week public consultation to inform the findings even further. If new peer reviewed published evidence is submitted to the consultation it will be considered before a final decision is made on prostate cancer screening.
