Closed Prostate cancer screening tests for men ages 18+

Closed on

Men tend to be less likely to check themselves than women.

A screening is less scary and embarrassing for men than visiting their GP.

Women have the tools and aid put in place to help them however men don't... why is that ?

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.

Every 45 minutes one man dies from prostate cancer – that's more than 11,000 men every year

In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
