#ProstateCancer has become the most common cancer in England. However, for a disease that affects 1 in 8 men, there's still no screening programme and outdated NHS guidelines prevent lifesaving conversations with men at highest risk. ➡️ Read more: bit.ly/4ar1V9N

Fine balance of savings lives & harms of screening for prostate cancer “…we have not shown enough risk mitigation yet to justify a national screening programme.” Which is why Prostate Cancer UK & National Institute for Health and Care Research funded £42M TRANSFORM study thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

Our latest report reveals 28,400 cancer deaths each year are linked to socioeconomic inequality. That's around 78 per day. We’re committed to tackling health inequalities – because beating cancer means beating it for everyone.

Multi-cancer tests could signal to your GP if vague early-stage symptoms could be caused by cancer, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis when treatment is more likely to be successful. Explore how these tests work and how they could support GPs to diagnose cancer earlier 👇

Researchers in Morecambe Bay are using a Raman spectroscopy device to improve prostate cancer diagnosis. By analyzing blood, urine, and semen, they aim to reduce invasive biopsies and enhance early detection in a region with high prostate cancer rates. nwcr.org/prostate-trial/

NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s. What should we make of this?

The chances of developing prostate cancer are higher for: • black men • men over the age of 50 • or for those who have a family history of prostate, breast or ovarian cancer. If you fall into one of these groups you should speak to your GP. #GMProstateCancer
