Hello, thank you for your comment. Recommending screening programmes is a complicated decision that needs careful consideration because while they can save lives, they can also cause harm to some people. The balance between the benefits and harms must be right for a population screening programme to be recommended. To make sure screening does more good than harm it’s offered to set groups, often by age and gender.

For all cancer screening programmes there is a ‘target population’. This will be the group where the benefits of screening outweigh the harms. The target population is different for different screening programmes, but no screening programme is for everyone.

Prostate screening can miss some aggressive prostate cancers, while spotting others that don’t need treatment. Rolling out widespread screening now could mean a large number of men receive invasive, unnecessary tests and treatment and cause stress and anxiety without any health benefit. That’s why it’s important to find better ways to spot aggressive prostate cancer for all men and we’re researching new ways to detect and diagnose the disease.

Thank you to our patron, His Majesty The King for sharing his cancer experience and championing Stand Up To Cancer.

Spotting cancer early can make a real difference in providing the best chance for successful treatment and to save lives. If you notice anything unusual for you, talk to your GP.

A special message from The King, in support of Stand Up To Cancer. 🧡

As part of this year’s @SU2CUK campaign, @CR_UK and @Channel4, with support from the @NHS, have launched a nationwide Screening Checker to help people find out which cancer screening programmes they are eligible for and seek helpful advice on the process.

After being diagnosed with a rare and fast-growing cancer called glioblastoma, Matthew was determined to stay positive. He proposed to his girlfriend, Carrie, and soon after they got married. Just six weeks later, Matthew died.

Carrie describes their wedding day as a day full of ‘positive love’. Matthew and Carrie stayed up and enjoyed the celebrations with family and friends until two in the morning.

We Stand Up To Cancer for Matthew and Carrie🧡
