Prostate cancer diagnoses surpass breast cancer in England, becoming the most common cancer.

Prostate cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer in England, surpassing breast cancer, with 55,033 diagnoses in 2023 compared to 47,526 for breast cancer. The rise, noted since 2022, is attributed to increased awareness and early detection efforts. Prostate Cancer UK is urging the government to update NHS guidelines to address higher risks among black men and those living in deprived areas. Early detection and treatment options are critical for managing the disease, which often presents no symptoms in its early stages.
