Gary Lineker health: Sports legend on health fears - 'I did have one scare' - Daily Express

Gary Lineker decided to come forward with his own experience around prostate cancer, warning against people neglecting the stigmatised health subject.

He explained that after getting regular full body checkups he had a prostate cancer scare.

In Gary’s case the prostate scare turned out to be nothing, but he encourages more people to get themselves screened for prostate cancer.

There are not any prevention factors for prostate cancer, and your risk of developing it grows with age.

Cancer Research UK projects that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Trans women and non-binary people assigned male at birth can also develop prostate cancer, although some studies suggest they have a lower risk than cis men.
