I thought this was a very clear and powerful message from Prostate Cancer UK.

  

I reinforces what I have always felt that the jokes and cartoons about the DRE test are a major impediment to men getting tested for prostate cancer.

“the standout result was that 46% thought that they’d need to have a digital rectal exam – and this was one of the biggest factors putting them off doing anything about their risk”

  

And the other message of course - “go get yourself a PSA test”.
