The Guardian
|January 20, 2026
Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease across the UK, surpassing breast cancer, according to a leading charity.
Actor Colin McFarlane was diagnosed with prostate cancer and has been a campaigner for increased awareness of the disease.
There were 64,425 diagnoses of prostate cancer in 2022, an analysis of NHS figures by Prostate Cancer UK found, and 61,640 new cases of breast cancer.
The analysis found almost a third (31%) of men in Scotland were diagnosed with prostate cancer at stage 4, compared with Just over a fifth (21%) of men in England.
About one in eight men across the UK will be affected by prostate cancer in their lifetimes, with about 12,200 deaths a year due to the disease.
One in four black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes. They also have a higher risk of a late-stage diagnosis compared with their white counterparts.
