So why did the UKNSC advise against rolling out routine prostate screening to all men?
Because benefits and harms must be balanced at population scale—hence a targeted approach.

What the new prostrate cancer screening recommendation means for you
More than 63,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually in the UKJane Kirby (The Independent)
Beverley reshared this.
The draft recommendation: screen every 2 years for men 45–61 with confirmed BRCA1/2 mutations.
Only around 0.3% of men have these, and fewer are in that age band—so targeting maximises benefit, minimises harm.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 — Knowledge Hub
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes involved in DNA repair. Constitutional (germline) pathogenic variants in these genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, as well as other cancers.GeNotes

Part of the answer is economic: modelling for the UKNSC found repeated whole‑population screening was least cost‑effective, while focusing on higher‑risk groups was far more cost‑effective.
Beverley reshared this.
Another part is test accuracy. PSA is not cancer‑specific.
In population screening, even a small drop in specificity means false positives can swamp true positives—causing anxiety and deterring future attendance.

The harms aren’t just false positives.
Overdiagnosis finds cancers so small/slow‑growing they’d never cause problems—yet many people undergo painful or invasive treatments unnecessarily.
Beverley reshared this.
A key problem with the PSA test: it can’t reliably distinguish dangerous cancers from benign conditions like BPH (enlarged prostate), which also raise PSA - which can lead to costly follow‑ups and overtreatment.

Bottom line: UK screening programmes are targeted to those at higher risk to reduce harm and improve value.
With ~9 million in the UK not up to date with at least one screening, if you’ve been invited, don’t miss it.
