Sadly, a large burden falls on men – cancers of the prostate and testes – while cancers of the kidney and the bladder affect both men and women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good news is that with research and early diagnosis more people than ever could survive the disease. This would only be possible however, with the work of charities like UCARE.</span></span></p>
