THE GUARDIAN: Former prime minister says he wants to join ranks of those pressing for more checks on men who may have disease
David Cameron has disclosed he was treated for prostate cancer and has called for a targeted screening programme.
The former prime minister said he had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which looks for proteins associated with the form of the disease. The result was high and he subsequently had a biopsy that revealed the cancer. » | Nadeem Badshah | Sunday, November 23, 2025

Investigating the Rise of Early-onset Cancer | Four Corners Documentary
Australians in their 30s and 40s are facing an alarming surge in cancer diagnoses and researchers are scrambling to understand why.
From bowel and breast to liver and kidney, aggressive cancers are hitting younger people; they’re often detected late, with devastating outcomes.
Dr Norman Swan investigates what’s behind the change.
Could it be ultra-processed foods, stress, or exposures dating back to childhood, even pregnancy?
He meets those grappling with a diagnosis and searching for answers.
Generation Cancer asks what can be done to curb the rise, and are we ready?
It's a wake-up call for a generation — and health services — blindsided by this increase.

Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Dr. Vivek Murthy’s report cites studies linking alcoholic beverages to at least seven malignancies, including breast cancer. But to add warning labels, Congress would have to act.
The advisory called for updating labels on all alcoholic beverages with a warning that drinking heightens the risk for at least seven cancers, including common ones like breast and colon cancers. | Ruth Fremson/The New York Times
Alcohol is a leading preventable cause of cancer, and alcoholic beverages should carry a warning label as packs of cigarettes do, the U.S. surgeon general said on Friday.
It is the latest salvo in a fierce debate about the risks and benefits of moderate drinking as the influential U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans are about to be updated. For decades, moderate drinking was said to help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
That perception has been embedded in the dietary advice given to Americans. But growing research has linked drinking, sometimes even within the recommended limits, to various types of cancer.
Labels currently affixed to bottles and cans of alcoholic beverages warn about drinking while pregnant or before driving and operating other machinery, and about general “health risks.” » | Roni Caryn Rabin | Friday, January 3, 2025
Christ Almighty! Here we go again! The Puritans are out in force! Yet another carcinogen: alcohol. They’ve killed your smoking pleasure, so now they want to kill your drinking pleasure too! It would be far better if these health freaks were to concentrate on the drug culture over there: hard and soft drugs. And all that junk people put in their mouths that they pretend is food. Americans were far healthier — and slimmer — when they enjoyed a smoke and a drink in moderation.
What these people want us all to do is become automatons: Eat, sleep, go to work, pay taxes — rinse and repeat until God calls you home! And if it takes too long and you fail, you'll be sent into an old folks’ facility and stare at the ceiling, ga-ga, until God finds a space for you in one of his mansions in the sky! Pleasure is a thing of the past. How sh*** life has become!
As a person who has had several near-death-experiences, and has survived to tell the tale, take this advice from me: Enjoy your life your way, each and every day, because we never know when our time is up. I know this from bitter experience. But a few words of caution: Exercise moderation in all things! A little bit of what you fancy never did anyone any real harm. These health freaks have become a PITA! – © Mark Alexander

Piers Morgan Says Royal Family Shocked at King Charles' Cancer - "2 Days Ago Everything Seemed Fine"
Feb 5, 2024 | Piers Morgan says he believes the news of King Charles' cancer diagnosis has come as shock to everyone, including the Royal Family.
The type of cancer has not been disclosed, but it was discovered during the King's recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The King informed close family members, including his sons Prince William and Prince Harry, as well as his three siblings. Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has already spoken to his father over the phone and is said to be flying into the UK in the coming days to see him. The public announcement was made at 6pm, leaving the world in shock and uncertainty.
Although the exact details of the diagnosis have not been revealed, it is clear that this is a serious situation. The King began regular treatments as an outpatient, following his recent procedure for an enlarged prostate. He will continue to undertake basic state duties from the Palace, such as his weekly meeting with the Prime Minister. However, all public engagements have been postponed for the duration of his treatment. It remains uncertain whether he will be able to fulfil major international trips planned for the coming months.
Piers Morgan is joined by TalkTV's Royal Editor Sarah Hewson, Royal biographer Tom Bower, broadcaster Andrew Neil, and Roya Nikkah, Royal Editor of The Sunday Times.

Wales Weather: No Such Thing as a Healthy Tan - Dermatologist
BBC: There is no such thing as a healthy tan, according to a dermatologist who treats hundreds of cases of skin cancer every year.
One in four men and one in five women in the UK will be diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime.
In Wales, it makes up 47% of all cancers - the highest rate of all UK nations.
The damage is caused by overexposure to ultraviolet radiation, or UV, produced by the sun.
Dr Rachel Abbott, consultant dermatologist at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, said: "There is such thing as a healthy fake tan. But unfortunately, to induce tanning in the skin, you have to induce damage to the DNA in your skin cells.
"So there's no way of getting a healthy tan from the sun or from a sunbed."
Too much UV exposure can lead to tanning, sunburn, premature ageing and eye damage. It is also the main cause of skin cancer. (+ videos) » | Sabrina Lee, BBC Wales meteorologist | Thursday, July 20, 2023
Don’t forget to add sunbathing to the list! The list of the causes of cancer grows ever longer: smoking; drinking alcohol; eating carcinogenic foods, which appear to be most of them; air pollution; too little sleep; loneliness; and UV exposure (sunbathing). I wonder what will come next on the list?
I don’t want to sound flippant, because cancer is a terrible disease in all its forms; but these days, one must ask oneself if there is indeed anything pleasurable or any activity enjoyed by people that scientists believe does NOT cause cancer? – © Mark Alexander
