Rishi Sunak has urged a targeted prostate cancer screening programme aimed at men aged 45–69 with a family history and Black men. The proposal targets roughly 1.3 million men and estimates annual costs of £25 million, about £18 per patient. The plan assumes 20% of eligible men would be invited annually with a 72% uptake, increasing diagnostic scans and biopsies by 23% and requiring only modest NHS staffing increases. PSA testing is not routinely offered under 50 and is controversial due to false positives and potential overtreatment. Report authors conclude benefits outweigh costs.
