PROSTATE CANCER
Every 45 minutes, one man dies from prostate cancer – that’s
more than 11,500 men every year. The level of risk of prostate cancer in black men is higher at one in four as opposed to a generalised risk of one in eight men. That risk rises for men over 50 or who have had prostate cancer in their family history.
