Olympic cyclist Sir Chris Hoy is calling for more prostate cancer testing after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Prostate cancer can often present without symptoms, and for people like Sir Chris, this can mean it isn't diagnosed until it has spread and become incurable. Unlike breast, bowel, or cervical cancer, there is currently no national screening programme that routinely invites men for prostate cancer testing. Instead, men over 50 can request what's known as a PSA blood test from their GP, but it's not automatically offered. Sir Chris wants that to change and is calling for the test to be made more easily available for men under 50, especially those with a family history of prostate cancer. But, expanding prostate screening is a divisive issue. While it could help detect cancer earlier in some cases, there are potential drawbacks. Inside Health's James Gallagher talks with Professor Frank Chinegwundoh, Consultant Urological Surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust, Professor Hashim Ahmed, Chair of Urology at Imperial College London and Inside Health's resident GP Dr Margaret McCartney about the evidence for and against prostate cancer screening - and whether Sir Chris's campaign could and should change the guidance. This programme was produced in partnership with The Open University.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Tom Bonnett Editor: Holly Squire

Are we still raising boys the 'traditional' way, like boys should always be tough and not allowed to cry? But at the same time they are also expected to be emotionally available?

2024 is the 20th year of clinical studies conducted as part of the STAMPEDE (Systemic Therapy in Advancing or Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy) trial, a series of investigational approaches to initial therapy for patients with high-risk prostate cancer. Patient accrual has now ended, but practice-changing data continue to emerge from STAMPEDE. New agents, regimens, and optimized treatment combinations have been assessed in patients whose tumors already metastasized or were localized but judged highly likely to progress. Noel Clarke, MBBS, FRCS, ChM, FRCS (Urol), Consultant Urological Surgeon and Professor of Urological Oncology at the Christie at Salford Royal Hospitals in Manchester, said the study is a multi-arm, multi-stage trial in which the current standard of care has continually been compared during the past 20 years with various candidate interventions tested against it. “Multiple thousands of patients have taken part in the trial,” Clarke said. “It has changed the standard of care serially in the last decade and has given a fantastic body of clinical and scientific material to work on, which helps us to understand prostate cancer, its natural history, the effect of different treatments, and the biology of prostate cancer, helping us to design future treatments.” OncTimesTalk correspondent Peter Goodwin met up with Professor Clarke at his office in Manchester, England, and asked him about findings and clinical take-home messages that have come out of the STAMPEDE studies. They also discussed translational research the investigators are now conducting in their ongoing battle to fight prostate cancer.

Kevin Turner, MA, DM, FRCS (Urology) is a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Royal Bournemouth Hospital.  In 2015, he helped to start the Surgeon Wellbeing Research Team with colleagues from the Department of Psychology at Bournemouth University.  Kevin and team ran a UK national survey from 2016-2019 – data from which has helped us understand how complications affect surgeons, the pervasiveness of this issue, and helped to create important objective measures and definitions in the field – like the difference between complications and errors.  They also ran a randomized trial of resilience training in surgical trainees based on ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).  Since then, Kevin has become a leader and mainstay at academic meetings bringing our understanding of the impact of adverse events and complications into a major spotlight.  Backed by data, but full of tremendous personal insight, this conversation is a must listen for surgeons who are interested in understanding why complications hurt us and how we can alleviate that impact to better care for our patients and ourselves.  More from Dr. Turner: Surgery Harms Surgeons.

Tony has lived with prostate cancer for 10 years and yet he knows very little about it. 1 in 8 men in the UK will get prostate cancer and the risk of getting it rises with age, but men can also be pretty rubbish at getting medical concerns checked out, especially down in the nether regions. In this special episode, made to mark Men's Health Week, Tony is having a frank chat about prostate cancer - the most common cancer in men - with leading urologist Professor Hash Ahmed. He also hears from his old friend in the ‘prostate club', Stephen Fry.
