Prostate Cancer Research says screening 45-69-year-olds at high risk makes financial sense.

Charity says more accurate tests would be needed to justify screening all men.

There is no prostate-cancer screening programme in the UK , unlike those for breast, bowel and cervical cancer.

Onus is on men to request a blood test from their GP once they are over 50 .

Prof Chinegwundoh says he often sees men who could have been diagnosed earlier.

Black men should consider having a PSA test at 40 , particularly if they have a strong family history of cancer.

But earlier this year , concerns were raised that black men were at greater risk of being harmed by a cancer diagnosis that did not need to be treated.
