Nick Owen Cancer: What Type of Cancer does Nick Owen have?

Nick Owen a British television presenter and journalist revealed in August 2023 that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2023.

After a period of absence from tv, he spoke on Monday, August 7 2023, about the impact of the condition on his life since he received the news in April.

“13 April, a date that will for ever be imprinted on my mind,” he said on the show. “I went to a specialist, he wasn’t too worried because my figures weren’t that high. But he decided I ought to have a scan, and then the scan said there’s something dodgy going on, and then he sent me for a biopsy, which he did. And the results of that were the killer.”

He said doctors told him the cancer was “extensive and aggressive”. “I had prostate cancer full-on, and something needed to be done pretty fast,” he said. “And that was probably the worst day of my life, or certainly one of them.” Owen said he had undergone surgery and planned to return to work at the BBC in the autumn.
