We're calling on the government to update the NHS guidelines so that GPs can proactively talk to Black men about prostate cancer from the age of 45, giving them more chance of a lifesaving earlier diagnosis.
But we need your help.

Fantastic to see PCR's new report on prostate cancer screening discussed in the House of Commons today, and to hear that this is actively being considered by @DHSCgovuk. Our campaign for prostate cancer screening continues to receive cross-party support - together, we can save lives!
Prostate cancer affects thousands of lives every year and early detection is crucial.
Today in Parliament, I urged @wesstreeting to consider the excellent @PCR_News report on screening.
This will save lives and save the NHS money - more people need to know about it.

A prostate cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and discussing related issues—particularly sensitive topics or concerns—can sometimes be difficult.

Encouraged to hear @wesstreeting comments on
@BBCr4today on early diagnosis of #ProstateCancer. @ProstateUK have already outlined solutions which directly address his points. We're calling for urgent action so that stories like Sir Chris Hoy’s can be avoided 💙
[1/5] We're grateful to Sir @ChrisHoy for so bravely and openly telling his story on @BBCBreakfast this morning, and we welcome news that the Government is now actively looking into testing men who have a family history of #ProstateCancer from the age of 45.

I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful presentation on "What is Cancer?" at our prostate cancer support group. Your insights were not only informative but also incredibly reassuring.

You asked for a peer support service that feels like it's designed by Black men, for Black men.
So we're looking for steering group members to provide guidance on the peer support needs of Black men to help shape this new service.
