Prostate cancer treatment depends on how early it's caught. Options range from just keeping an eye on things to surgery, radiation, or hormone therapy. The earlier you catch it, the more choices you have—and often, the less intense the treatment. If you're over 50 or have a family history, now's the time to talk to your doctor about getting tested. Early detection can give you more options and lead to better outcomes. Don't wait!

Prostate cancer testing involves more than just a PSA test. If your PSA is positive, your doctor may advise on an MRI to provide a clearer picture. If you're over 50 or at higher risk (such as Black men or those with a family history of prostate cancer), it's important to explore your testing options. Early detection through advanced methods like MRI can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Don't wait for symptoms—talk to your doctor about getting tested. Taking action now could make all the difference. #Cancer #CancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #MensHealth #NHS #PublicHealth #Movember Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex

Prostate cancer often goes unnoticed until it's advanced. The TPHC programme relied on PSA testing to identify at-risk men before it was too late. We hope you grew an incredible moustache this Movember. Let's also grow the conversation around early testing. Encourage the men in your life to be proactive with their health—it's a small step that could make a huge difference. After all, a moustache can be a great conversation starter about more than just facial hair!

95% of patients rated their experience with the TPHC programme as 'Good' or 'Excellent,' with many calling it "Fast and easy," "Professional," "Efficient," "Reassuring," and "Informative." Given how hesitant some men are to attend prostate health checks, it's amazing to see how positive experiences can make such a difference. When healthcare is simple, supportive, and easy to access, it builds trust and motivates more people to take action. Quality care really does matter!

Should the UK introduce a national prostate cancer screening programme? Early detection is key, yet there's no widespread screening for prostate cancer. Our Targeted Prostate Health Check (TPHC) programme successfully identified 263 cases early, proving the vital importance of early testing. Let's keep the conversation going about early detection! #Cancer #CancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #MensHealth #NHS #PublicHealth #Movember Surrey and Sussex Cancer Alliance Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex

During the TPHC programme, just 28% of patients had a good understanding of prostate cancer in our pre-service survey. After watching an informational video, that number shot up to 65%—a huge 37% increase! Patient education is a powerful tool for raising awareness and encouraging early detection. When people understand the risks, they're more likely to take action. Let's keep the conversation going and ensure more men get the information they need about prostate cancer.

Looking to reduce your risk of prostate cancer? It starts with a healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and staying on top of your routine health checks can make a big difference—especially if you're over 50 or have a family history of the disease. Most importantly, don't skip out on early testing. Catching prostate cancer early gives you the best chance for effective treatment. Take care of your health and encourage others to do the same.

Prostate cancer risk factors are often overlooked – that needs to change! One GP who participated in our Targeted Prostate Health Check (TPHC) programme highlighted the value of recognising key risks: "There are critical factors GPs need to focus on—obesity, Black and African Caribbean men, and family history. These are three key risks." Did you know that Black men are at a much higher risk of prostate cancer, with 1 in 4 being diagnosed in their lifetime? That's why early detection is so important, especially for those with known risk factors. We need to raise awareness about these risks and encourage men to get checked. Let's keep the conversation going and promote proactive health checks—early detection can make all the difference.

Every year, 55,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, and sadly, 10,000 of those diagnoses come too late for a cure. Our Targeted Prostate Health Check (TPHC) programme has shown that early detection can catch prostate cancer even in men with no symptoms. If you or your loved ones are at risk, getting tested could make all the difference. Early detection provides more options and can save lives.

Prostate cancer is treatable, especially when caught early. However, many men aren't sure what signs to watch out for. Raising awareness about the symptoms can help more men get checked in time.
