Prostate Cancer: The Missing Men

Help us find the missing men:

Prostate cancer referrals fall by 52,000 due to COVID-19

Thousands of men are missing out on potentially life-saving conversations with their GPs – we need everyone to share our thirty-second risk checker (see below) to find these missing men and help them get an early diagnosis.

Check your risk

An early diagnosis makes an enormous difference. When the cancer is still in the early stages and hasn’t grown outside the prostate, treatments like surgery or radiotherapy are very effective. However, once the cancer spreads to other regions of the body, it is incurable.

This is why it’s so important for men to be aware of their risk and speak to their GP if they are concerned. However, due to the Covid-19, thousands of men could have their prostate cancer go unnoticed until it’s too late.
