flag Prostate cancer now exceeds breast cancer as the UK’s most common cancer, with rising cases and calls for better screening access.

flag Prostate cancer has become the most common cancer in the UK, with 64,425 diagnoses in 2022—surpassing breast cancer—marking a 24% increase from 2021 and a 42% rise over the past decade. flag Driven by greater awareness, public figures like Chris Hoy and David Cameron are urging early detection, but the UK lacks a national screening program. flag The NHS National Screening Committee advises against routine PSA testing for most men, recommending biennial screening only for those with BRCA1/2 mutations aged 45–61. flag Disparities persist, with men in deprived areas and Scotland more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages. flag Prostate Cancer UK advocates for equitable access to testing and is running a trial on combining PSA tests with MRI scans to assess future screening options.
