Prostate Cancer Push: Early Detection Saves Lives
Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
Prostate cancer is a growing concern in New Zealand, with over 4,000 diagnoses and 750 deaths annually. Survivors and families advocate for a national screening program, such as the PSA blood test, to catch it early. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is pushing for a four-year pilot program, with 84% of voters supporting it. However, the Ministry of Health has yet to approve it due to potential risks like false positives.
