An exciting development in prostate cancer care has just been announced.

NICE has published draft recommendations supporting the use of five artificial intelligence technologies to help NHS radiologists detect prostate cancer on MRI scans. https://tinyurl.com/bddjbyn7

These AI systems could act as a second pair of eyes, helping doctors identify suspicious areas more accurately and consistently, potentially reducing delays and unnecessary investigations.

This is welcome news. But at Prost8 UK, we believe it raises an equally important question.

f technology is helping us identify prostate cancer with greater precision, shouldn't we also be treating it with greater precision?

For decades, the main radical treatment options have involved surgery to remove the prostate or radiotherapy to treat the whole gland.

Both remain essential, potentially lifesaving treatments. But not every man with localised prostate cancer necessarily needs treatment of the entire prostate.

For appropriately selected patients, focal therapies such as HIFU, cryotherapy and IRE (Nanoknife) can target areas of cancer while preserving more healthy tissue, potentially reducing the risk of life-changing side effects.

And for some men, active surveillance may be the most appropriate choice of all.

Artificial intelligence represents another exciting step towards more personalised prostate cancer care.

Let's make sure advances in diagnosis are matched by advances in treatment choice and access.

Because beating prostate cancer matters. But so does the life you live afterwards.

Every prostate cancer is different. Every treatment should be too.

A massive thank you to Mary, Ryan, Stu and Tagan at Commando Factory. As a team of 4 representing Commando Factory Gym, they took on the 'fun' hybrid fitness challenge at Battle Cancer Glasgow.

They raised a fantastic £1500 in sponsorship for us at this event.

Thank you guys for your hard work, and to everyone who donated.

We really appreciate your support.

Same diagnosis. Different decisions.
Two men can hear the same four words “you have prostate cancer” and make very different treatment choices.
One may choose surgery. Another may choose focal therapy. Others may choose radiotherapy or active surveillance.
The important word is choice.
Because the right treatment decision isn’t the same for every man. It depends on the cancer, the individual, what treatments are suitable — and what matters to him.
At Prost8, we’re not here to tell men which treatment to choose.
We want to make sure they know the choices available to them.
💙 Know your diagnosis. Understand your options. Make the decision that’s right for you.

Finding prostate cancer earlier can change what happens next.

When cancer is found while it is still localised, there may be more treatment options available — and more opportunity to consider treatments that protect quality of life as well as treat the cancer.

For some men, that could include active surveillance. For others, it may mean minimally invasive focal treatments such as HIFU, cryotherapy or NanoKnife. And for some, surgery or radiotherapy will still be the most appropriate choice.

But as prostate cancer progresses, those choices can become more limited and more extensive treatment may be needed.

That’s why early detection matters.

At Prost8, we believe men should be diagnosed early and given clear information about all the appropriate treatment options available to them.

This could be as simple as a PSA blood test.

Because finding prostate cancer is only the first step. For more information on PSA testing visit prost8.org.uk/PSA (in partnership with The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust)

Find it earlier. Know your choices. Protect your future.

Focal therapy is having a moment…..

….and perhaps, after many years of being relatively unknown outside specialist circles, something is beginning to change.

Three high-profile men. Three prostate cancer diagnosis. Three men who chose focal treatment.

💙 The spotlight: Lord David Cameron's experience brought focal therapy and its potential quality-of-life benefits to a much wider public audience.

💙 The advocate: In December 2025, Prost8 helped Lord Graham Brady access focal treatment following his prostate cancer diagnosis. Today, he is a vocal Patron of Prost8, using his own experience to help champion greater awareness, access and choice for other men.

💙 The conversation: Jeremy Clarkson's decision to speak publicly about his prostate cancer and HIFU treatment has put focal therapy in front of an enormous audience — and has literally thousands more men talking about prostate cancer, early diagnosis and all treatment choices.

And there's more.

The Government has now committed up to £2.8 million to strengthen and expand focal therapy provision in England.

Put all of that together and it feels like a significant moment.

But attention isn't the same as access.

A man cannot benefit from a treatment he isn't told about — or will not realistically access because of where he lives.

That's where Prost8's work continues.

We don't believe focal therapy is right for every man. We believe every suitable man should know it may be an option and have a fair opportunity to access it.

The evidence is growing.
The attention is here.
The opportunity is here.

Now, let's turn that attention into awareness and accessibility. 💙

A huge thank you and well done to Russell Jefferies for completing the highly challenging French Alps ‘Classic Cols’ cycle ride in support of prost8.

An amazing achievement in itself and Russell chose the two year anniversary of completing his treatment to mark the occasion.

This challenge involved Russell cycling 9 Cols (mountains in layman terms) in 6 days with the key stats being:
7 nights / 6 days cycling covering 254 miles with a total combined elevation of a staggering 31800 ft (mount Everest is 29,000 ft to give some proportion)

Russell also managed to exceed his £1000 fundraising target to help more men receive better outcomes after prostate cancer. His JustGiving page is still open so please do donate - lets see if we can double his target https://www.justgiving.com/page/russ-jefferies-5?

Well done Russell for an amazing achievement and so proud to have you on the Prost8 team 💙
