Too many men are needlessly dying of prostate cancer. The latest data shows 

that the number of men dying each year has gone up (again) and underscores 

the terrible fact that this disease is as big as breast cancer. The latest data shows that 

12,000 men died of prostate cancer in one year. That’s 12,000 friends, 

brothers, lovers and dads like William’s, who died when he was just 12. Most of 

these men died because their prostate cancer was not detected early enough.
