Breaking News: Former PM David Cameron Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Former Prime Minister David Cameron, 59, has revealed he has been treated for prostate cancer. According to the Times newspaper, Cameron's wife Samantha urged him to get tested after listening to a BBC radio interview with entrepreneur Nick Jones, who was campaigning for more men to be tested.
Cameron underwent a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test earlier this year, followed by an MRI scan and a biopsy. He was then treated with focal therapy, which targets the cancerous area using methods such as ultrasound waves to destroy cancer cells.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in males in the UK, with around 55,000 new cases every year. Cameron's diagnosis highlights the importance of regular check-ups and testing for men.
Cameron wants to use his platform to support a call by Prostate Cancer Research, a charity which counts Mr Jones as a founder. This move aims to raise awareness and encourage more men to get tested.
This is a developing story, with further details expected to emerge in the coming hours and days.
