//The study, led by the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit, is already being considered by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
It will decide whether the NHS can afford multi-parametric MRI for prostate cancer.//

I hope they make it available as up to now the diagnosis of Prostate cancer cancer has not been Good as other forms of cancer

I'm amazed that the NHS is so behind the times with affairs of the prostate. It is another '3rd world' performance. Mr. J2 had problems 3 yrs. ago (in France at the time). Massively enlarged prostate threatened bladder explosion. Surgeon used laser surgery to reduce - normal practice. All fine, home in a couple of days, no problems since.

In UK we read, about 10 months ago, that (WOW!) laser technology COULD be used for prostate problems!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have no, repeat NO, faith in the NHS - although cannot fault the individual doctors and nurses we have met. We have also identified many instances of inefficiency and waste thanks to have being involved in another system. Would be happy to give observations if asked.. in order to improve efficiency..........no-one wants to know.....
