NHS to Review Prostate Cancer Screening Guidelines After Chris Hoy's Advocacy

Olympic champion Chris Hoy, diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, urges earlier screening for men with family history.

Chris Hoy, diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, is advocating for earlier screening for men with a family history of the disease.
The NHS is considering lowering the screening age for prostate cancer following Hoy's public appeal.
Currently, men over 50 can request a PSA test, but Hoy argues for proactive testing starting at age 45 for high-risk groups.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has asked the NHS to review its guidelines, emphasizing evidence-led decisions.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with a significant number of cases diagnosed too late due to lack of early screening.
