Overview
- Robinson, speaking in early July, says he has lived with prostate cancer for about 13 to 14 years and remains well under routine monitoring.
- He describes his care as regular PSA blood tests and MRI scans with biopsies only when needed and reports most patients now get MRI surveillance roughly every two years.
- Robinson has publicly corrected the common belief that routine testing requires a digital rectal examination, saying doctors no longer rely on that check.
- He is campaigning with Prostate Cancer UK, backing the Transform trial that tests whether combining PSA with rapid MRI could support wider screening recommendations.
- Prostate cancer mainly affects men over 50, is now the UK’s most diagnosed cancer with about 64,000 annual cases, and Robinson says reducing stigma could prompt earlier diagnosis and save lives.
