Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:49 pm on 25 January 2017.
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. One area that could benefit from improved screening is prostate cancer. A recent study published in ‘The Lancet’ showed that using multiparametric MRI on men who had high prostate-specific antigen levels increases detection of aggressive tumours, and spares many from the need to have a biopsy and its associated side-effects. What plans does your Government have to roll out this new technique across the Welsh NHS?
