The Importance of Early Detection
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, but it is also the most survivable when caught early. Men with early-stage prostate cancer often do not experience symptoms, making early detection crucial for effective treatment.
Breaking Barriers to Testing
Despite the importance of testing, many men are hesitant due to misconceptions about the process. Prostate Cancer UK found that nearly half of men surveyed believed they needed a rectal exam for testing, creating a barrier to taking action. However, the best way to check for prostate cancer is now a simple blood test.
Quick and Simple Risk Checker
Prostate Cancer UK has developed an online risk checker that takes just 30 seconds. By checking your risk, you can determine if further discussion with your GP is necessary for a quick and simple blood test.
Spreading Awareness
To ensure the message reaches men across the country, Prostate Cancer UK has launched TV adverts featuring well-known voices. The goal is to emphasize the importance of early detection and encourage men to take action.
Take the Initiative
With no formal screening program for prostate cancer, it is up to individuals to check their risk. By using the online risk checker, you can quickly assess your risk and make informed decisions about your health.
