<p>In England, early cancer screening is already in place for cervical, breast, and
bowel cancer. The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) does not currently recommend
screening for prostate cancer due to the inaccuracy of the current best test, called
Prostate Specific Antigen. We are providing £16 million of funding to Prostate Cancer
UK's £42 million trial, which is aimed at helping us find a way of catching prostate
cancer in men as early as possible. The UK NSC is also commissioning evidence for
six possible approaches to targeted prostate screening for those at higher risk. The
UK NSC will publish its recommendations when complete.</p><p>NHS England is responsible
for the running of the Targeted Lung Health Check Programme, and its conversion to
a nationally rolled out NHS Targeted Lung Cancer Screening Programme by 2030.</p>
