11,819* men now die from prostate cancer every year in the UK compared to 11,442* women dying from breast cancer.
It means the male-only disease is now the third most common cancer to die from, after lung and bowel cancer.
Men are dying because of the failure of healthcare services to add PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing as standard when blood screening.
We are a campaigning website and Facebook Group aimed at raising issue with the UK Government and NHS failure to have a standard screening programme for Prostate Cancer. Say to your doctor or healthcare professional:
Test My PSA – we want a national screening programme
*the term males and men within this website is used generally to describe anyone with a prostate – this is generally anyone assigned male at birth.
