The need for early diagnosis to give patients timely access to appropriate treatment as they start their disease management journey is highlighted. This resource aims to inform and support the optimisation of patient care.

This Module provides an overview of the nature of prostate cancer and how it is likely to present, including the broad disease spectrum from asymptomatic indolent cancer to a more aggressive disease to help understand the nature of the progression of the disease. Key focal points are understanding the people more likely to be at risk and in need of diagnostic investigation, in particular based on their ethnic background and genetic risk factors. The importance of early detection and appropriate disease management makes it vital to discern who needs to be considered for the prostate cancer diagnostic pathway.
