So if I give you an example, if you're diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is the most common cancer in men, the chances are that you'll probably know somebody maybe in your neighborhood who's been affected. or a friend or a colleague who knows somebody who's been affected.
If you speak to a local doctor, healthcare professional, pharmacist, they will have a great deal of knowledge about prostate cancer. They will be able to relate to what you're experiencing and may be able to help support you. But with penile cancer, we're in a completely different situation. Many people don't even know it exists.

And that includes healthcare professionals who will never come across it in their careers. So when it comes to men trying to find answers, to readjust, there is nobody at a local level that they can really speak to who has been through something similar. And I think we end up with this very isolated group of men which would then impact again on their psychological well-being.

And the majority of men with penile cancer will never, ever meet anybody else who's been affected, unlike prostate cancer. Thank you, Rob.
