Screening

The talks of cancer screening have put it into my head. I'm a reasonably young man, is there screening for testicular or prostate cancer? What age does it start?

I believe The boiler house offers a complimentary screening for all new members.

Most GPs do routine prostate examination and blood test screening on patients 50 or over.

Do you get called for screening?

You do for the National Bowel Cancel Screening programme, when aged 60 to 69.

You shouldn't expect to be called for all types of screening, just go to your GP.
