Streeting orders prostate cancer review after Chris Hoy calls for early tests

Cycling star, who has terminal cancer, tells men under 50 with family history of prostate cancer to ask for test

The health secretary has ordered the NHS to review its guidance on testing for prostate cancer in light of Sir Chris Hoy’s “powerful” call for men to be screened in their 40s.

The Olympic cycling champion Hoy, who has terminal cancer, urged men with a family history of prostate cancer to see their GP for a blood test even if they are under 50.
