Routine PSA screening for men over 50 on NHS to check for prostate cancer.

Closed 1,914 signatures

What the petition asks

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK.
This simple blood test that I am petitioning for could save thousands if not millions of life’s. Unfortunately it was found to late in my Grandfather. And I want to change this.
This simple blood test is not routinely offered on the NHS, and I want change to this as it could save millions of life’s just through one blood test. Men over the age of 50 are at most risk so by routinely having a PSA test, could again, save millions.
