The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC), which advises the Government on screening programmes, has never been asked to consider the evidence for screening people exposed to diethylstilbestrol in utero.

Any individual or organisation can submit a topic to the UK NSC to consider a new screening programme via the UK NSC’s annual call, with further information available at the following link:
