The National Prostate Cancer Audit (NPCA) evaluates patterns of care and outcomes and reports on diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for men diagnosed with prostate cancer in England and Wales. As much as possible, we compare practice and outcomes against national guidance and quality standards, including those from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to help NHS organisations benchmark their prostate cancer care against measurable standards and to identify unwarranted variation in measures of processes and outcomes.
This report is an audit of care received by people diagnosed or treated with prostate cancer between 1 September 2022 and 31 March 2025 in England and Wales. In addition, a description of national time trends in diagnoses, treatments, and survival outcomes between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2025 in England and 1 September 2022 and 31 December 2024 in Wales.
