Prostate Cancer risk checker Posted or Updated on 9 Apr 2026

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK – 1 in 8 will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Your risk can be higher if you are over 50, or over 45 if you’re black, or if there is prostate cancer within your family.

You can check your risk online using our Prostate Cancer UK risk checker.

If the risk checker has identified that you are at high risk, please contact your GP surgery. PSA blood tests are available which can help to detect prostate cancer – you don’t need to show symptoms to have this blood test.
