When it comes to #ProstateCancer, early diagnosis is crucial.
Because when you find it early, it's much easier to treat.
So if you have any of these risk factors, speak to your GP ⤵️
Tony’s advanced #ProstateCancer diagnosis in 2017 was life-changing.
💙 This #InternationalVolunteersDay we thank him for helping others avoid the same fate.
Early detection saves lives - raising awareness remains crucial until we have a screening programme for all men.
The first Men’s Health Strategy is a big step for prostate cancer care, with faster tests, fewer hospital visits and better monitoring.
The biggest challenge remains early diagnosis. Tech helps, but without a national screening programme, too many men will still be diagnosed late. Join our campaign. https://t.co/5DLu2kIW7o
NICE have approved darolutamide for men with advanced #ProstateCancer, giving them another life-extending option.
The government must ensure the new National Cancer Plan tackles inequities and gets proven treatments to men who need them.

We are on a mission to build a future where nobody will have to fear losing a loved one to #ProstateCancer.
That’s why we’re being #ProactiveForYourProstate and campaigning to reduce the number of lives lost to prostate cancer each year. It is vital that we enable more men to have access to earlier detection of the disease and raise awareness of the importance of prostate cancer screening.
Join our campaign network and be part of the change. Link in bio.
The time for change is now. Let’s do this together
Sir @ChrisHoy is one of thousands of men in the UK who have sadly received their #ProstateCancer diagnosis too late.
Speaking at an event hosted by @Lazard, Sir Chris joined us in calling for change so that men at highest risk of the disease can be diagnosed earlier.
This Men's Health Week we take a look back at our campaign with Sir Chris Hoy and Prostate Cancer UK to encourage men to check their risk for prostate cancer.
Watch Sir Chris Hoy explain why getting checked is so important. You can find the online checker here: https://t.co/IK3sDPDeyD

#Radiotherapy is a common treatment for early-stage #ProstateCancer.
But for some men with high-risk, localised prostate cancer, their cancer may return.
Your support could give men time for what matters, when they need it most.

When Bruno was diagnosed with #ProstateCancer at 50, it came as a shock.
He had no symptoms and felt healthy, but the diagnosis and treatment took a toll on his mental and emotional wellbeing.
