Public support for prostate cancer screening has grown following a Daily Mail campaign, a poll reveals.
Some 91 per cent of Britons now believe the NHS should offer regular prostate checks for men, as it does for breast cancer in women.
This is up from 86 per cent in April when OnePoll last conducted its survey on behalf of the charity Prostate Cancer Research.
The latest findings found widespread problems around the current system, which relies on men to come forward and ask GPs for tests when they already have concerns.
Responses from 2,000 adults show one in five has had a male family member or close friend die from the disease.
