Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting New Zealand men, yet it often causes no symptoms in its early stages.

That's why it's important to talk to your GP about your individual risk and whether screening is appropriate for you.
Symptoms can include difficulty passing urine, a weaker urine flow, needing to urinate more often (particularly at night), blood in the urine or semen, or persistent pain in the lower back, hips or pelvis.

These symptoms don't always mean cancer, but they should always be investigated. If something doesn't feel right, don't ignore it.

Looking after your health isn't only about seeking care when something feels wrong.

Regular health screening plays an important role in detecting some cancers before symptoms appear, when treatment is often more effective.
Taking part in recommended screening programmes and attending routine health checks can provide reassurance and, in some cases, lead to earlier diagnosis.

If you're unsure which screening programmes are right for you based on your age or risk factors, it's worth having a conversation with your GP.

Scans are an essential part of cancer care, providing valuable information that helps guide diagnosis, treatment planning and ongoing monitoring.

However, they're only one part of the overall picture. When making treatment decisions, specialists also consider blood test results, symptoms, physical examinations, treatment response and how someone is feeling day to day.

Bringing all of this information together allows care to remain personalised and ensures treatment decisions are based on the individual, not just the scan.

Today is Daffodil Day, a chance for New Zealanders to come together in support of people affected by cancer.

If you see one of the Cancer Society's street appeal volunteers today, please consider making a donation if you're able. Every contribution helps fund practical support services, trusted information and life-changing cancer research, ensuring more people receive the help they need when they need it most.

From everyone at St George's Cancer Centre, thank you to the volunteers, supporters and generous donors helping make a difference this Daffodil Day.

Unlike chemotherapy, which targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, immunotherapy works by helping the body's own immune system recognise and fight certain cancers.

While it's an effective treatment for some people, it isn't suitable for every type of cancer.

Your oncologist will consider many factors when deciding whether immunotherapy is an appropriate option for your individual diagnosis.

Cancer treatment can affect appetite, taste and energy levels, making eating well more challenging than usual.

Rather than focusing on eating perfectly, the priority is often maintaining strength, supporting recovery and getting enough nourishment. Small meals, staying hydrated and making practical adjustments can all make a difference.

For patients who need additional support, the experienced dietitians at Encompass Health work alongside the cancer care team to provide personalised nutrition advice to help manage treatment side effects and maintain wellbeing.
