Yesterday, we were delighted to host an event in Parliament attended by over 100 MPs and Peers to launch our new report, ‘Prostate Cancer Screening: The Impact on the NHS'.
Today’s decision on screening is profoundly concerning. Black men and men with a family history still won’t be offered screening, despite facing some of the highest risks and worst outcomes.
This isn’t good enough.

Early detection saves lives and it’s vital that access to screening and support is available.

Prostate Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the UK.
That is why I'm proud to pledge my support for the #ProactiveForYourProstate campaign to encourage men to get screened.

I am pleased to support the campaign for prostate cancer screening. Prostate Cancer Research estimates that an annual investment of £25m to deliver targeted screening would mean an estimated 1,254 years of life saved for the target groups each year.

So good to drop in to a packed out @pcr-uk.bsky.social event yesterday on behalf of my constituents. It is clear men are dying needlessly because we don't screen for prostate cancer. A targeted programme for those at highest risk could save thousands of lives. I'm so glad to support the campaign!

Great to drop by the Prostate Cancer Research reception today.
PCR’s recent report demonstrates that a national screening programme is not just life saving, but cost effective.
Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer in men, it is high time the Government worked to reduced these statistics.
