Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron has revealed that he was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, disclosing the news in an interview with The Times published on November 23. Cameron said he decided to undergo testing at the urging of his wife, Samantha.
Cameron said he has since received focal therapy, a targeted treatment that uses methods such as ultrasound waves to destroy cancer cells in the affected area. He described the experience as something “you always dread,” while emphasizing the importance of early testing and awareness.
