 Former British PM David Cameron receives treatment for prostate cancer

Former British Prime Minister David Cameron has revealed he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer and is urging more men in the U.K. to undergo screening.

Cameron, 59, underwent a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, which detects proteins associated with prostate cancer. After his PSA levels were found to be high, a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. He was treated with focal therapy, a procedure that uses ultrasound waves to target and destroy cancer cells. The U.K. does not have a routine prostate cancer screening program due to concerns over the PSA test’s accuracy, though men over 50 can request the test.

Cameron said he and his wife were inspired to get him tested after hearing entrepreneur Nick Jones discuss his own diagnosis on BBC radio. “I don’t particularly like discussing my personal, intimate health issues, but I feel I ought to,” Cameron said. “Men are not very good at talking about their health. We tend to put things off. I would feel bad if I didn’t come forward and say that I’ve had this experience.”

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the U.K., with roughly 55,000 new cases annually. Risk is higher for Black men, and studies indicate that PSA testing can lead to overdiagnosis, though researchers are working to improve its accuracy.

Cameron led the Conservative Party and served as prime minister from 2010 to 2016, and later as foreign secretary under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak from 2022 to 2024.
