A screening programme using MRI scans could save thousands of lives, says a leading UK expert.
"As part of the project, we want to see if MRI could also be an effective tool for screening healthy men, in the same way there are national NHS screening programmes to detect signs of breast or cervical cancer."From this month, 300 men, aged between 50 to 75 years old, will be randomly selected from London GPs and sent a letter explaining that they can join the trial.
"It will also reduce the numbers of men undergoing biopsy, which in turn will reduce NHS costs and free up staff time. "Prostate cancer patient groups are a hugely important part of the study, and the prospect of achieving a large reduction in biopsies is a significant wish - as they can have serious side effects in patients, including pain, bleeding and infections.
"The ultimate aim is to develop tests that are better than biopsies for targeting the right cancer treatment to the right person - including determining if they don't need treatment.
