Background
Prostate cancer is the UK’s most diagnosed cancer, yet many cases are found too late. The UK NSC has recommended screening only for men with BRCA variants, leaving Black men and those with a family history at higher risk. While screening policy is debated, a simple questionnaire at 45 could help with early awareness, targeted guidance and practical prevention. Too many lives are lost because symptoms are missed. This could help save lives.
