Prostate Cancer UK are the largest men’s health charity in the UK. They have a simple ambition – to save and improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer.
They are the driving force in prostate cancer research in the UK.
They invest millions into research to find better ways to diagnose prostate cancer and improve treatments to help men live long and live well.
They work with the NHS to make sure men get access to these breakthrough tests and treatments, and influence government decision makers to improve men’s outcomes and experiences.
Prostate Cancer UK help men make informed choices about prostate cancer. They spread the word about who is at risk of prostate cancer, especially to those at higher risk, through their award-winning online Risk Checker tool.
1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer and many will experience urinary problems as a side effect of their treatment. Prostate Cancer UK understands the struggle faced by men during and after their treatment for prostate cancer. This can include urinary incontinence as a result of prostate removal, or other treatment such as radiotherapy.
They support those who face incontinence problems as a result of treatment with Surgery Support packs containing informative materials and provisions. They send out over 4,000 of these packs every year, alongside 6,400 factsheets for men dealing with these issues.
