Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the UK, and sadly it is the second most common cause of cancer death in men in the UK.
It is important to acknowledge that prostate cancer is a disease with very variable rates of clinical progression and deciding who has clinically significant prostate cancer without over-diagnosing men who do not, remains a complex challenge for us in primary care.
