We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ensure that ALL men in the UK undergo a simple PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test to screen for the early signs of prostate cancer, at the age of 45, recurring once every 3-5 years. More details

Prostate Cancer is on the increase in the UK, and currently men do not have a standard test for this disease, unlike women who get a Smear Test and a Mammogram to check for both Breast and Cervical Cancer. The test for Prostate Cancer is initially simple, involving a blood test to check for a man's PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels. Through regular testing from the age of 45 onwards, hopefully more cases can be caught early before they spread and become inoperable.
