uin	131643
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2018 answer text <p>Prostate screening is not offered as a population screening programme in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) last reviewed the evidence about screening for prostate cancer in 2016 and recommended against a population screening programme. The reasons for this included that the test which is available for use in screening, Prostate-Specific Antigen, is neither very specific nor very sensitive, and is unable to distinguish between slow-growing and fast-growing cancers; there is therefore a risk that a national screening programme would lead to a high number of false positives. There are major harms of treating men who incorrectly test positive (i.e. have false positive tests), these include impotence, incontinence and rectal problems.</p><p> </p><p>The UK NSC will be reviewing the evidence to screen for prostate cancer later in 2019/20.
