00:00The data is very clear that if you screen men for prostate cancer, you will reduce the men dying from it.
00:06Also, the argument about over-diagnosis and over-treatment, I think, has largely gone.
00:12Things have moved on a lot in the last 10 years.
00:15So, for example, in the past, if your PSA, prostate-specific antigen, blood test,
00:22if that was raised, you would automatically go through to have a prostate biopsy,
00:26which wasn't without its downsides.
00:29And if your prostate cancer was diagnosed, you would be treated with some radical treatment, surgery or radiation.
00:35And so some men would have problems or side effects from the biopsy process and from the treatment process.
00:43However, the landscape has completely changed in the last 10 years.
00:49Now, if your PSA is raised, you have an MRI scan.
00:53The MRI scan will exclude many men from having to go on to have a biopsy.
00:58If your MRI scan looks normal, then you don't go on to have a biopsy.
01:02You don't go on to have a biopsy.
