Former Prime Minister David Cameron has criticised proposals to limit prostate cancer screening to only a few thousand men, according to the Daily Telegraph. Lord Cameron, who revealed last year he had been treated for the disease, has described the plan as a “a real step backwards”. Another prostate cancer patient, the Soho House founder Nick Jones, tells the Daily Mail that the decision “feels mind-boggling”. In the Daily Mirror, the executive director of Cancer Research UK acknowledges the move will upset many, but says the blood tests used to detect the disease are “not effective enough to support wider screening”.
