Prostate Cancer
FACTS & ADVICE FOR MEN OVER 40
Prostate Cancer did not stop affecting men because of Covid-19. In fact a recent survey showed that urgent referrals by GPs in England dropped by over 52,000 since March 2020. As a result over 8,600 fewer men in England started treatment for Prostate Cancer (PCa) in 2020.

In 2018 a total of 49,029 men in England were diagnosed with PCa. This is more than ladies diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2017 12,301 men died of the disease which is approximately one every 45 minutes. An early diagnosis of PCa makes an enormous difference. When the cancer is still in the early stages and hasn’t grown outside the Prostate, treatments like radiotherapy and surgery are very effective. One in 8 men will get PCa in their lifetime and for Black men it is 1 in 4. It occurs mostly in men over the age of 40. It is vital to detect PCa at an early stage. There are continual advances in medical science. However, the only readily available detection method currently available is the PSA blood test, which is simple and relatively inexpensive. Many men will have PCa without realising it as they do not have any symptoms. This usually is to do with frequency or difficulty in passing urine. If men do have this symptom it may only be due to an enlarged Prostate or that it’s infected. Further tests will be required to determine if it is PCa. So, if you are male and over 40 years old, or have a husband, partner or relative eligible please consider having a PSA test. It could save your or their life. Don’t be one more person adding to the 8.600 men fewer men who started treatment for PCa.
