The unreliability of the PSA test is why as yet, there is no national screening programme, despite 142 men a day in the UK being diagnosed with the disease.

Rakesh Heer, a clinician and Professor of Urology at Imperial College London who is also involved in the trial said: 'TRANSFORM is not only the most important diagnosis trial in more than two decades, but it could also prove a game changer for prostate cancer research as a whole.
'This treasure trove will help researchers around the world create and validate innovative new tests, treatments, and AI tools.'
