An NHS screening programme for prostate cancer could come one step closer if it's backed today by a key committee that advises the government.
One in seven men with prostate cancer actually have a normal PSA level.
And even those with a high level may have a cancer that is so slow growing that it's just not a threat.
That's why the National Screening Committee has warned in the past that PSA screening could lead men to have surgery or other treatment that they don't actually need. Treatment can result in incontinence or impotence.

Sir Chris Hoy has voiced his disappointment after mass screening for prostate cancer was not recommended for use on the NHS.
The National Screening Committee (NSC), comprised of doctors and economists, told the government that screening is "likely to cause more harm than good".
Its decision means the NHS is unlikely to offer mass screening for men over the age of 45.
