Prostate cancer was the second-leading cause of cancer death in men in Brighton & Hove between 2016 and 2020. 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer but it is easier to treat if it is caught early. In 2019 over 50% of prostate cancers were diagnosed at stages 1 and 2.

Prostate cancer can have no symptoms and your risk of developing prostate cancer is higher if you are over 50, are Black, or have a family history of the disease. If you are concerned about your risk, speak to your GP.

Councillor Jacob Allen is joining thousands of people across the nation, committing themselves to walk or wheel 11,000 steps a day throughout March to represent more than 11,000 men who die from prostate cancer each year.
