THE FACTS

47,300 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.

It is the most common cancer among UK men but it is also the type of cancer that most men survive

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

That likelihood is doubled to 1 in 4 for black men.

Over 11,000 men in the UK die from prostate cancer each year - 1 every 45 minures

Men aged 50 or over, men with a family history of prostate cancer and black men are more at risk of getting prostate cancer.

One third of men diagnosed already have advanced prostate cancer. We need earlier diagnosis and better testing.
