Tackling Prostate Cancer

Jim Davis and Jo Hayward

Available for over a year

Almost 200 men die from prostate cancer each year in Leicestershire and Rutland. Today, plans are being unveiled to halve the number of deaths in the next decade. Nationally, the disease kills nearly 11,000 people a year, but Prostate Cancer UK is developing a screening tool to identify the risk of getting the cancer, which it wants available to all GPs in five years. 麻豆社 Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair has been speaking to Phil Reeves, who lives in East Leake near Loughborough. He discovered he had prostate cancer four years ago.
