David Cameron, the ex-Prime Minister, has revealed he received treatment for prostate cancer. He was diagnosed earlier this year following tests, including a biopsy. His wife, Samantha, encouraged him to get checked after hearing a radio discussion about the disease. Cameron is now promoting targeted screening, citing male reluctance to seek help. His announcement aligns with the launch of Transform, a UK trial assessing different screening approaches. Cameron underwent focal therapy, using electrical pulses. He stressed the importance of early detection.
