@Brian_nonumbers @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna National screening, what they've ruled against, is the testing of everyone. The same way that breast cancer screeening involves calling in everyone above a certain age. This is why I asked what you meant by screening because the UK has never had full screening for porstate cancer

@Dimples44_4 @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna 2/2 The goal isn’t to biopsy or treat everyone — it’s to identify aggressive cancers early while avoiding unnecessary treatment whenever possible.

🚨 NEW: The NHS has ruled against national prostate cancer screening because treatment would "cause more harm than good" - including loss of erections It is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with 12,000 deaths every year

@Brian_nonumbers @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna National prostate screening, as mentioned in thr NHS ruling, is the use of PSA on its own for all men over 50. They arent saying they aren't going to trear or identify postate cancer, they're saying that nationalised screening is impractical

@Dimples44_4 @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna 1/2 PSA alone is definitely imperfect, which is why modern prostate cancer screening increasingly combines PSA trends with MRI, risk factors, targeted biopsy, and active surveillance.

@parochena @ShivaniM_KC They can go and ask for a psa test. The decisions is just that the nhs isnt going to ask patients to come in for one

@ShivaniM_KC To be fair… (as a woman), if I were them, I’d want all the evidence shown to me and the right to make my own decision. Shouldn’t they also have that right? They should be allowed to ask for your opinion, but they will have their own too.

I'll say one more thing at the risk of being cancelled Telling men that there's no point screening for prostate cancer because only a few men will die from it and you can't tell who will and who wont die, therefore it's better not to look in the first place because you probably won't die but you may have unnecessary surgery with complications.. ...doesn't work highly intelligent folk don't understand this concept. We need a better way to convey the evidence to men.

@Brian_nonumbers @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna Considering 75% of people who have elevated results have no cancerous cells and it also misses 20% of patients with cancerous cells, its not suitable for widespread screening

@Dimples44_4 @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna When men reach a certain age, usually 50, and go for a checkup, their bloodwork typically lists their PSA level. If it’s elevated, 4+ for example, they are referred to a urologist because at 50 it should be around 0.5 - 1.

@Brian_nonumbers @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna Thsi is exactly why I clarified. They arent suggesting removing something that already exists. A national screening programme would mean asking all men over a certain age to get tested. Thats very different to testing men who come in and have risk factors or are symptomatic

@jude99_ @PolitlcsUK Theyve never done national screening for prostate cancer

@PolitlcsUK Introduce Folic into everything and then stop screening for prostate cancer. Does anyone still believe they’re (gov) not out to kill en masse?

@DrMaximus_NYC @PolitlcsUK Theres no screening for ovarian cancer for the exact same reason. There is cervical cancer screening cus theres is a test sensitive and reliable enough for it

@PolitlcsUK The UK: “it’s cheaper to just let old men die. They won’t do this for cervical or ovarian cancer though.”

@DBnarutonerd @PolitlcsUK Theres only like 4 countries in the world that do national psa screenings. Its a shit test that isnt suitable for that

@PolitlcsUK NHS really is shit. There's a reason no country wants to copy it. (That isn't saying everyone in the NHS shit cultists)

@balls_pepper @PolitlcsUK Psa testing has a false neg rate of 75% compared to the 10% of mammograms. Also 40% of older men have some levels of cancerous cells in their prostate even if it never develops or spreads. Cant say the same for breast cancer

@PolitlcsUK Like mammograms then? Doctors are seemingly completely heartless.

@kickflipamy @PolitlcsUK They dont do ovarian cancer screening for a similar reason to prostate cancer. Breast cancer occurs in a much younger population. The only saying is that youre more likely to die with prostate cancer than from prostate cancer

@PolitlcsUK Breast cancer? Get them off. Ovarian? Whip 'em out. Prostate cancer? Oh no, can't sacrifice the erection. It's more manly to just die.

@MPC3675 @PolitlcsUK Thats very strange that he said no, protocol is you can request it without any symptoms after 50. However the test is useless. Only 25% of people who test positive will actually have cancer and 20% of people who test negative do have prostate cancer

@PolitlcsUK I went to my GP for a test for prostate cancer as I’m of that age now and he refused point blank to do it, either by blood test or a finger up the jacksie as I didn’t have symptoms. I paid for a private test in the end, which thankfully was negative.

@SpartanTsg @PolitlcsUK There are very very few countries that do national screening for prosate cancer. Even the US, which loves to make uo procedures to make money, doesnt do psa screening

@PolitlcsUK …sure and yet it’s ok to give antidepressants to people that cause loss of erections. For many it’s permanent after stopping medication. It’s clearly a funding issue for the most part.

@Brian_nonumbers @McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna What do you mean by screening? Did your gp reach out to you or the other way around

@McWrightFace @natalie_Zion_ @PolitlcsUK @StanisJenna Pointing out that screening caught my stage 3 cancer before metastasis isn’t selfish. Pretending men like me are acceptable collateral damage in a cost-benefit spreadsheet is.

@WestminsterNews @PolitlcsUK You can still ask for a psa test. This just means that they arent going to ask you to come in and get one done

@PolitlcsUK This is exactly why men’s health gets missed. Screening may have risks, but telling men “we’ve decided for you” is not going to reassure anyone

@Fatstupidchud56 @PolitlcsUK The majority of the world doesnt do national psa screening because its unreliable

@PolitlcsUK Why are we speed running becoming the laughing stock of the world. "We could save thousands of lives but that cost money and what if they can't get a boner anymore:(

@TheActivist16 @Zeitsturm He's dressed in an arsenal themed thobe. Its fire

@Zeitsturm Hot take: they're both performing and pandering. One as an ally, another as a coon. In this case, I kinda rate the ally more, as she is visibly trying. Meanwhile Mamdani is dressed like an immature child

The juxtaposition between AOC and mamdani in this video perfectly encapsulates how westerners see muslims vs how muslims actually are.

@4tesbyr Omg they do actually still believe this

@4tesbyr The worst thing is they refuse to admit they were wrong. They still insist that they were right and he clearly changed his mindset in order to win

sorry but im still pissed off at podium sundays psychoanalysing lando from a vogue article, acting like that interview is in any way comparable to conversations with a sports psychologist and overall just dismissing him. now they’re using him as an example? while at the time they did a whole video talking about how lando doesn’t have championship mindset? lol

@anthonytheminty @BiasonDarci @aliciaandrz Not quite. Lets say youre maintaining an obese weight eating 2400 calories a day and no excercjse, you would have to drop to 1600 and exercise to lose the weight but then you could go back to probs 2400 with little excercise.

@BiasonDarci @aliciaandrz what happens if you stop dieting and exercising? all weight loss treatments are life long. and in theory glp1s can help patients change their habits and develop a healthier body w more balanced hormones and hunger cues before they stop taking them

the GLP-1 discourse around weight loss is weird because I went from a lifetime of food & alcohol addiction to freedom on the lowest dose. I used to eat until I felt sick. I used to wake up on the weekends & want to start drinking immediately. all that noise is gone. so frankly I don’t care how I’m perceived. these drugs are a miracle & weight loss is the tip of the iceberg.

@clarklogo @starboymegumi He literally said he's never driven the car

Look at him he wanted it so badly and they gave it to mr forehead ….fuck off
