MRI scans could pick up thousands of prostate cancer cases missed by blood tests, a study suggests.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of men get checked for the tumours every year and 52,000 annual cases make it the most common cancer for blokes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Standard tests include a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a manual exam.<\/p>\n

Scientists at University College London say using simple MRI scans could pick up far more cases early.<\/p>\n

Their study found 29 cancer cases in 303 men, with 25 picked up by MRI compared to just four by the PSA test alone.<\/p>\n

Study author Professor Caroline Moore said: \u201cOver half the men with clinically significant cancer would have been reassured that they didn\u2019t by a PSA test alone.<\/p>\n

Writing in the journal BMJ Oncology, experts added that the rates of \u201coverdiagnosis\u201d were low.<\/p>\n

There is no screening for prostate cancer because tests can detect \u201cinsignificant\u201d tiny or slow-growing tumours where treatment would be more damaging than leaving it alone.<\/p>\n

Many men live with prostate cancer for years without it impacting their lives \u2013 78 per cent survive more than a decade after diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Simon Grieveson, from Prostate Cancer UK, said: \u201cMRI scans have revolutionised the way we diagnose prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese results are extremely exciting, and we now want to see much larger studies to understand if using MRI could form the basis of a national screening programme.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe desperately need screening to help us catch more cancers early and save thousands of men\u2019s lives each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Sir Mike Richards, chair of the UK\u2019s National Screening Committee which advises the government, said it \u201cnotes the study with interest\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe committee does not currently recommend prostate cancer screening because there is no clear evidence that the benefits outweigh the harms.\u201d<\/p>\n
