Prostate Cancer Symptom Checker
Posted on:
In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. We don’t know exactly what causes prostate cancer but there are some things that may mean you are more likely to get it – these are called risk factors.
There are three main prostate cancer risk factors, which are things you can’t change. These are:
- getting older – it mainly affects men aged 50 or over
- having a family history of prostate cancer
- being Black.
We will be contacting patients in these “at risk” groups to offer a PSA Blood Test soon.
