Thousands missing out on 'game changing' MRI tests for prostate cancer, charity says
More than 7,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the south east - and more than 1,500 will die from the disease.
Now a new pain-free test, pioneered in the south, is using MRI scanners to help detect the worse tumours.
But so far only around half of the UK's hospitals are offering it - with Medway and Southend among those missing out.
Andy Dickenson reports and speaks to Chris Kitcher, Dr Jonathan Richenberg of the Royal Sussex County Hospital, and Angela Culhane of Prostate Cancer UK.
