Abstract	Background Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men globally, with over 1.2 million cases reported in 2018. About 90% of men with prostate cancer are diagnosed when the disease is in an advanced stage. We assessed the factors associated with the uptake of prostate cancer screening among men aged ≥ 50 years in Lira city. Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving 400 men aged ≥ 50 years in Lira city who were sampled using multistage cluster sampling method. Uptake of prostate cancer screening was defined as the proportion of men who received prostate cancer screening in the past one year prior to the interview. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the factors associated with the uptake of prostate cancer screening. Data were analyzed using Stata version 14.0 statistical software. Results Of the 400 participants, only 18.5% (74/400) had ever been screened for prostate cancer. However, 70.7% (283/400) were willing to screen/rescreen if provided with the opportunity. Majority of the study participants, 70.5% (282/400) had ever heard about prostate cancer, mostly from a health worker (40.8% (115/282)). Less than half of the participants had high knowledge of prostate cancer. The factors that were significantly associated with prostate cancer screening were age ≥ 70 years, Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 3.29: 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.20-9.00) and having a family history of prostate cancer, AOR 2.48 (95%CI: 1.32–4.65). Conclusion There was low uptake of prostate cancer screening among men in Lira City, but majority of men were willing to screen. We encourage policymakers in Uganda to ensure prostate cancer screening services are readily available and accessible by men so as to improve on early identification and treatment of the disease.
