HORNSEA DISTRICT LIONS
BOOST LOCAL CANCER CARE
Hornsea District Lions have made a donation of £7000 to Eastgate Medical Centre to fund new equipment and support an innovative project to detect Prostate cancer in high risk men.
The major focus of this funded work is an early detection project for Prostate cancer, targeting men aged 50 – 70 who may have a family history of the disease.
Dr Byass, a GP at the centre and lead GP for the Humber and North Yorkshire Cancer Alliance said “ The Lions approached us with a sensible concern. They didn't want to do blanket PSA testing, which isn't effective . Instead, we decided to identify men at higher risk, those with a father or brother who had prostate cancer.
Using an automated text message system the GP surgery reached out to a pilot group of local men, asking if they had any family history. Those who replied “Yes” were invited for a test. We've had a brilliant response, around 25% replied, which is excellent for a single text.
One man has been diagnosed and had curative surgery. That alone, makes the whole project worthwhile.
With the pilot proving successful, the project is now expanding to more patients.
“Its a practical, targeted way to pick up cancers early without overwhelming GP practices or hospitals.” said Dr Byass. She added “ I hate that we have rely on charity to fund NHS work but in this case, The Lions came to us wanting to help, and their support has been absolutely instrumental. It's enabled us to try something new, show it works, and hopefully build something lasting”
The second part of the donation went towards purchasing dermatoscopes, advanced handheld cameras that magnify skin lesions for closer inspection . This enables them to take clearer images and send them directly to hospital consultants.
The club will continue help fund this project for the next two years.
