From the BBC website, 14th October 2010:-

British scientists have moved a step closer to developing a simple urine test to identify men at risk of getting prostate cancer.

They have discovered that a protein found in urine is affected by a genetic change linked to the cancer.

More research was needed, but their work could lead to the development of a reliable test costing £5.50 ($8.82).

However the NHS Choices website, 'Behind The Headlines' says:-

The Daily Mail, The Guardian, BBC News and The Daily Telegraph covered this story. They suggest that the test may be able to identify people at greater risk of prostate cancer and could be part of a screening programme.

However, some of the reports may give the wrong impression of how developed this test is. The research is still at an early stage, and it is not known whether this protein can be used to detect those at greater risk of prostate cancer, or how long it will take to become commercially available. There is much more work to be done on this test.
