Overview
- The 56-year-old ESPN pundit said an elevated PSA about 18 months ago led to MRI and biopsy confirming an aggressive prostate cancer.
- He underwent a radical prostatectomy on 6 December 2024, then saw his PSA rise six months later with scans showing spread to his pelvic bone.
- Hislop reported starting medication soon after the metastasis was found and completing a seven-and-a-half week course of radiation therapy.
- He advised regular PSA checks from age 50, or from 40 for men of African descent, and told men in places where tests are not routinely encouraged to insist on them.
- His message comes as the UK National Screening Committee’s recent draft recommendation advises against making routine prostate cancer screening widely available.
