Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 June 2026

Debate

Prostate Cancer Screening

Contribution

I completely understand Cancer Research UK’s point about overdiagnosis leading to invasive treatment, with devastating effects, along with unnecessary anxiety and stress. There are inequalities in treatment, and more needs to be done to ensure that every man who is diagnosed receives the best treatment options possible. Does the Minister feel it would help to have a public awareness campaign—I know there have been some, but perhaps more—on how to notice the symptoms that people may have, particularly those in the Afro-Caribbean community, who are quite often let down as far as prostate cancer is concerned?
