Detection rates are climbing!

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK.

Our analysis shows the number of men being diagnosed with the disease is at an all-time high.

Yet there are huge inequities in how the disease is diagnosed across the UK, with too many men finding out too late - when their cancer is harder to treat.

And it’s still the only common cancer without a mass screening programme, despite often showing no early symptoms.

That’s why it's essential for every man to understand his risk and what he can choose to do about it.

Screening programme for prostate cancer, starting with high-risk men

We are calling on the Government to reassess the UK National Screening Committee’s (UK NSC) draft recommendation not to offer prostate cancer screening to anyone except men with BRCA1/2 genetic variants, and to introduce screening for all high-risk men.
