Most men don't respond to early signs of illness and rarely seek medical attention until something goes seriously wrong - We aim to change this.

Statistics shared by @CHAPSHealth, increased prevalence of #cancer in #men compared to women. Now discussions are turning to interventions. Early warning signs such as can #ED be a marker for disease? An invitation for ideas #Menshealth #Data2Life with @BLGDataResearch @HWSuffolk

👑Our Province of the week is… Suffolk! 👑
@SuffolkMasons have teamed up with @CHAPSHealth and @TackleProstate to ensure that more cases of #ProstateCancer are detected early and more men can avoid invasive surgery, through PSA testing days 🏥 suffolkfreemason.org.uk/news…

We have started a petition to ask .@BorisJohnson
& .@MattHancock
to give every over 50s man a PSA test at their MOT and regulary there after. Please sign and share #ProstateCancer chng.it/y9ZrrXStyy

Prostate cancer is the commonest major cancer in UK men, causing 48,000 new cases and 12,000 deaths each year. CHAPS has information on screening to help save lives 👉chaps.uk.com/ #cancer #menshealth @CHAPSHealth

Agreed @TackleProstate @CHAPSHealth @cancereu
Europa Uomo @uroweb and @cancereu have published a new #PSA scientific update for policy makers implementing the #EUCancerPlan. The case for #EarlyDetection of #ProstateCancer through #screening programmes is clear. Read more and access the update bit.ly/2OPuOql

“The magnitude of decreased PSA screening was correlated to the magnitude of increased metastatic disease.”
More evidence that #EarlyDetection of #ProstateCancer is imperative. We look forward to discussing this with the EU policymakers.

Great work @TackleProstate @CHAPSHealth
For patients, health information might be as therapeutic as medication or surgery. But masses of health web information does not imply well informed patients. Proud to be involved in this project. Thanks #EuropeanUrology Today for presenting @EauPatient

One finding in @AasKirsti's thesis “Prostate Cancer without Distant Metastases: Treatment and Mortality in Norway 2001-2016“: “PSA at the time of PCa diagnosis is associated with long-term survival.”
So: PSA should not be discouraged, on the contrary. The earlier the better.

Happy holidays – as much as that is possible – to everyone. If you have 3.5 minutes to spare in the upcoming days, watch this news story @euronews as a result of the findings from the Let’s Talk #ProstateCancer Expert Group:

Androgen deprivation therapy raises the risk of cardiovascular disease, which remains a leading cause of mortality in #ProstateCancer patients.
We should pay more attention to this risk. Better yet, we should prevent advanced PCa with #EarlyDetection.

The recent increase in metastatic prostate cancer diagnoses may have to do with the reduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening.

#BigData for #ProstateCancer would not be possible without patient engagement. We are grateful to @GaryHooker16 @SimeonRGreene @KenMastris for signing up to share their prostate cancer patient journeys with the PIONEER studyathon. Reminding us all of the patients behind the data.

The #EUCancerPlan includes encouraging news for the #Urology community. #ProstateCancer is among the cancers considered for the possible extension of targeted screening. @EU_Health will make a proposal to update its recommendations on cancer screening.

On this #WorldCancerDay , let’s remember #ProstateCancer: the most frequent cancer in Europe and the second commonest cause of male cancer death. Let’s also remember that targeted cancer screening for prostate cancer has been mentioned in the #EUCancerPlan.
Times are changing.

As #prostatecancer experts publish new proposals for effective #screening programmes, there are hopes that the imminent @EU_Health #EUCancerPlan will have a strong emphasis on #earlydetection bit.ly/3otaMy7
