One in 3 men put off life-saving cancer checks

A WORRYING one in three men over the age of 45 have said they would put off seeking help for prostate cancer, research has revealed.

This, they say, is due to the fact they fear every diagnosis is terminal.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in British men and the number of people being diagnosed with the cancer has increased in recent years.

The symptoms can be vague and creep up on you over many years, or not appear at all.

Research of 1,200 men found that 62 per cent believe undergoing treatment for prostate cancer can result in side effects that could impact quality of life.
