What men need to know about prostate cancer. A top surgeon speaks out.
One in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, yet surprisingly few men know much about the prostate. Ben Challacombe, consultant urological surgeon at Guy’s & St Thomas’s, and one of the country’s leading experts on the treatment of prostatic disease, tells Jeremy & Sarah exactly what the prostate does, why cases of prostate cancer might be on the rise, testing & diagnosis, how to choose whether surgery or radiotherapy is your best option, Da Vinci robots, and much more. We'd love to hear about your experiences with cancer, so if you want to share these, have any particular topics you'd like us to talk about, or even people you think we should be talking to, then get in touch. If you're listening on Spotify, you can use the show’s Q&A feature, or please share your thoughts on the show and contact us on this page or through our Instagram page at @howlonghaveyougot2024.
