Thousands of men in England with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer will be offered a new type of precise radiotherapy called SABR. This treatment reduces the number of sessions from 20 to five, aiming to target the cancer more effectively with fewer side effects.
Key Facts
SABR stands for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and delivers a focused, high-powered radiation beam.
The treatment is already used for some lung and brain cancers but is now available for certain prostate cancer patients outside of trials.
About 17,500 men diagnosed yearly in England have low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer; around 3,500 are expected to choose SABR.
SABR cuts the number of radiotherapy sessions from 20 to five, helping patients recover faster.
The NHS expects all 48 radiotherapy centers in England to offer SABR within weeks.
Side effects are often reduced because SABR limits damage to healthy cells around the tumor.
Trials are ongoing to see if SABR can help patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
Patients like Edwin Lambert report fewer severe side effects and a quicker return to normal activities after SABR.

A group of UK MPs say David Lammy’s plan to change how some criminal trials work could hurt trust between the black community and the justice system. The plan would remove the right for some defendants to choose a jury trial, which black defendants are more likely to want. The MPs also highlight very low numbers of black judges in higher courts.
Key Facts
David Lammy, UK deputy prime minister and justice secretary, plans to remove the right to choose a jury trial in certain mid-level criminal cases.
Black defendants in England and Wales choose jury trials more often than other groups (26% vs. 15% for white defendants).
MPs warn this change could increase mistrust in the justice system among the black community and other groups.
Only 1% of crown court judges are black, a figure unchanged since 2015.
MPs call for the government to set a clear national goal to increase black representation among senior judges by 2035.
The planned reforms would shift thousands of trials away from juries to judges and magistrates.
The magistrates’ court system may not be ready for the extra cases, with recruitment and retention challenges.
Some MPs and lawyers oppose the changes, worrying about fairness and court capacity.

Badger vaccination will continue in key areas as part of the strategy, and the last badger culls are expected to end by 2029.
