Ireland is launching a pilot prostate cancer screening program called "PRAISE U", co-funded by the EU, as part of a three-year project aimed at establishing effective screening pathways. Targeting men aged 50-69 in Dublin and Waterford, 5,000 men will be randomly invited to participate. The program utilizes a home-based PSA test to facilitate participation and guide future screening strategies across the EU. The program seeks to address the lack of a national screening initiative while involving university and health service collaborations to assess effectiveness and cost-efficiency.
The pilot screening programme named "PRAISE U" aims to establish an organised prostate cancer screening pathway in Ireland, co-funded by the EU, targeting men aged 50-69.
Ireland's pilot study will randomly invite 5,000 men from Dublin and Waterford, using a home-based PSA testing kit, to inform future national screening strategies.
