Catching it early: recognising prostate cancer in asymptomatic men
Editorial

Pages: 22 - 23

Article topics: Prostate cancer

Many men with prostate cancer do not experience symptoms until the disease has spread. This means that they risk being diagnosed too late, when the cancer is incurable. With your help, asymptomatic men with prostate cancer could be recognised earlier and their lives could be saved. Prostate Cancer UK believes general practice nurses (GPNs) are in a unique position, as they are ideally placed to recognise men at higher risk of prostate cancer and help ensure that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is delivered to best effect.
