NHS launches a 'one-stop' service to diagnose prostate cancer A ‘one-stop’ service to revolutionise prostate cancer treatment has been launched by the Health Service.
The quick-access programme slashes the time taken for a diagnosis from around six weeks to just days.
Patients have all their tests in one day, rather than several. And doctors use the latest MRI scanners and techniques to search for the disease with far greater accuracy than before.
Doctors hope to test 5,000 men over the next two years in the £1.6million trial.
Campaigners say it is the biggest leap forward in prostate cancer diagnosis for decades. The Daily Mail
