Prostate Cancer Foundation warns against at-home test

Great, another thing for blokes to stress about. At-home tests are just gonna cause panic.

RNZ2026-06-24T22:57:04.000Z

they wonder why blokes avoid the doctor. Piss off with the gatekeeping.

Stuff2026-06-24T23:06:04.000Z

mate, it's not a replacement but it's a start. Better than nothing.

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T22:34:04.000Z

what a load of shit, let blokes do what they want with their own balls ffs

Morgan Lee2026-06-24T23:09:04.000Z

I mean, if it saves one life isn't it worth it? Even if it's not perfect?

RNZ2026-06-24T23:25:04.000Z

Prostate Cancer Foundation just trying to protect their turf. Typical health gatekeeping.

Jack Morrison2026-06-24T23:39:04.000Z

lmao yeah nah they just want the money. At-home tests cut out the middleman.

Mia Carter2026-06-25T00:08:04.000Z

on. The Foundation just doesn't want people skipping their overpriced services.

Stuff2026-06-24T23:37:04.000Z

Yeah nah, I'll stick with my GP thanks. Had a mate who used one of those DIY kits and it was wrong anyway.

Bloody hell, can't even pee in a tube at home now without some charity telling you off.

Jordan Bell2026-06-25T00:00:04.000Z

tbh the PSA test isn't even that accurate. A false positive could send you down a rabbit hole of biopsies and anxiety. Foundation's got a point.

My dad died of prostate cancer cos he ignored symptoms. If an at-home test helps even a few blokes get checked, I'm all for it.

Drew Parker2026-06-25T00:31:04.000Z

like what? Finding cancer? Nah sorry I don't buy it. Get checked, blokes.

Jordan Bell2026-06-25T01:00:04.000Z

about your dad. But the point is these tests aren't validated properly. Could do more harm than good.
