It has been well recognised that prostate cancer does not receive the attention and support from government in research and screening, recently published figures show £72million on beast cancer research, yet just over £9million going into finding a cure for prostate cancer. This lack of funding is costing men their lives. The reason put forward for a lack of interest in the screening procedure is that the current PSA testing is unreliable and can only be used as an indicator. With this in mind we must still make men aware of the cancer risks and urge them to have the test. There is also the question of how regularly these tests are carried out, currently 12 months is the norm but there is a view this should be every 6 months. The need for detailed records from a national survey will underpin this vital decision and resources should be made available to support the healthcare plan.

We urgently need a research program for a reliable non invasive testing procedure

Please talk to friends and colleagues about this subject, make people aware of how bad the current system is, as a patient your family will soon become aware of your situation but we need support from everyone in our communities.
