As Prostate Cancer Awareness Month approaches, March 2024, it is time to highlight this prevalent but often overlooked disease. With more than 52,000 men being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer every year, makes this disease the second most common cancer in men. It is important that we delve into the significance of raising awareness, ensuring that people know the signs and symptoms to watch out for, and the invaluable role private GPs play in the diagnosis and treatment journey.
